Is it possible?
I have seen quoted the serial number of the first Hurricane to get the metal wings on the production line, but unfortunately did not make a note of it. This does not necessarily imply that no later aircraft had the fabric-covered wings. However, I understand that spare wings were provided so that the Maintenance Units (where the aircraft were stored before allocation to a squadron) could re-wing earlier aircraft.
So I don't believe that it is possible to be certain, without photos of the specific aircraft.
