The page from the Pilot's Notes is from June 1940. Spitfire II entered service on 13 August 1940.

And the point is?

+12 lbs boost was only usable for take off and at low altitudes, and it fell of rapidly, in contrast to Spitfire I pilot notes which notes its effective up to rated altitude. There was no 'two different' sytems on the Spitfire II during BoB.
