RAF wise this is incorrect, they had smoke tracers. They smoked to the target but didn't produce a visible light streak. They also had smokless 'fire' tracer.
2 seperate rounds.
Look at this video, RAF procedure during BoB was not to mix ammo types in the same gun, so you see the smoke tracer (at least 3 guns) and the light tracer (1 Gun). Notice that the 'fire' tracer doesn't produce any smoke.
