Merlin negative G cutout too quick?

EDIT: You're right. I must have mixed some stuff up. The pilot notes say richt is backwards and lean is forwards. So actually the lever positions in CoD are wrong.

PS: However I know how mixture ratio works for the early Merlin nonethelss

Yes and if you get the Engine Info in an info window you'll see that: 0% is at Rear position (should be 100%), 100% is at forward position (should be 0%). And of course its a real problem on one Hurricane because the Throttle moves the mixture rearward when it closes, forcing it to Lean when it should be Rich.
