Yes.
And the XVI is basically a IX with a Packard Merlin, also built in "low back" with bubble canopy, whereas the XIV is Griffon-powered, both in high and low back.

Didn't the Mk IX show up before the Mk VIII?

Yes as a stop gap till the VII (Pressurized) and VIII (beefed up wing), in the end much like the F-102 v F-106 (ultimate interceptor) the nine (oh sorry) IX was built in much greater numbers than the planed replacement. The VIII was considered by many to be the best of the Merlin line,

Who am I kidding, nope, no I wouldn't.

Always thought the profile of the Spitfire was the allure, now that I've seen a squadron departing, well it seems that they are quite beautiful from the back as well!
