John you should check the copyrights to this stuff...before it will be too late...

I would say it should not, Battle of Britain should only include the battle over Britain and its surrounding area , it should not include losses of RAF and Luftwaffe in the clashes over the sea near Europe mainland or the RAF's losses suffered in their bombing offense against German target in the Europe in the same time period of the the Battle of Britain, that should belong to another fought at the same time of BoB.
