A nice shot Andy. I'm still thinking the spinner in question is a modern one. And I agree with CATCH22's opinion.
 
I believe Constellation spinners have been been used on restored Hurricanes as a convenient (cheaper) way of providing one. I seem to recall that is one of the faults in the Hasegawa Hurricane kit, the spinner was modeled off a restored aircraft.
 
I have read that as well and was trying to find the link to where I read it. Some discussion here and comparison photos below of a Connie spinner and the one used on G-HURR, which, in my opinion, looks more like the one in the OP:
