I don’t see how MK II Spits, the main model in 1940 Battle of Britain, could have been in Burma at this late stage of the war.

Burma campaign usually got the low priority for new models, Hurricanes were still flying there in 1945 when they had been taken out of action in most other theaters.

Mk Vs or MK VIIIs, yes. But then again if they are MK II’s that would be quite amazing; they are quite rare, as are the Hawker Hurricane.

I think these must be Mark VIIs. India/Burma theater started with VCs and later added VIIIs and then extra VIIs from Italy. VIIs would make more sense than Mark IIs.
