Exactly. I think I saw the photo in the IWM Photo Archive and the caption did mention training of Yugoslav erks but not in a regular unit. I guess whoever wrote the caption on this website was mislead by the unit code on one Spitfire.

Is there any known pattern to these "B" roundels on the fuselage? Units, timescale?

I recall two in 249 Sqn markings plus at least two of other units (don't recall which one). All late 1943 to 1944 IIRC.
