Well, it is an accurate change. The Merlin XX has a float carburettor, and the "Miss Shilling's orifice" device that allowed the engine to withstand negative Gs for a short duration was an RAF retrofit in early '41. Unless there is evidence of systematic use of a similar device in VVS Hurricanes, that is.
