Well, from a quick perusal of the Wikipedia article, it looks like the first unit with the 2x20mm was more or less functional in August 1940, but that would need to be checked. It does seem to fit though.
The HS.404 had already been used on prewar aircraft. About the only reason the US never got it to work was because one of our armaments houses changed part of the firing mechanism, and broke it.
