Dugald Cameron's book on 602 lists BL822 as having been attached to the squadron - no dates or anything (unlike the other aircraft) and Spitfire the History doesn't mention it as having a 602 connection, but it could be a candidate for the aircraft in the pic.
According to Finucane's logbook, he flew BL822 only once, on 19 March ’42, for a 10 minuts cannon test; probably this test was not successful so Finucane chose a different Spitfire (BM124) as personal.
