Yes, it was very often the the regiment have mixed plane type Yak-1,3,7,9. It is common, if the IAP receipts it's plane from other unit or from repair unit. The other point is the different tactical possibility: the Yak-9 has longer range it is necessary for escort or recce mission.
The Lavochkin IAP have also mixed types: La-5F,FN, La-7
