credits for air-to-air victories?

With the recent passing of W/Cdr Oxby, I note that he is not listed in Aces High or other lists of RAF “Aces”. I presume this was a deliberate policy of the RAF that only pilots received official credits for air-to-air victories?--- Unlike Vietnam where USAF F-4 WSOs received equal credit for kills.

Was there ever any serious discussion about WWII radar operators receiving credit, or what it just always automatic that only the pilot did?
