Jan, old chap, the Spitfire colour pic is a promotional shot, possibly from 'Piece of Cake' in the late 1980's, or perhaps a studio still, pre-production, from the BoB movie of 1969. Could even be, Bossman forbid, from 'Pearl Harbour' - but looks far too authentic for that waste of Estar base film material!
 
Hmmmmm......I just noticed that three closest Spitfires have three different guns whatyacallit, with the third having cannons, they also have different exhausts.....

I think that I might just replace it....

Sorry lads!

Yep, three MkIX/XVI's and a MkV, painted up to look like BoB period MkI's. They look as if they could be from the BoB movie, although all the Spits had cannon removed if fitted, so could be from Piece of Cake.
