Since the British roundel was placed quite far to the aft of the aircraft, I think most units preferred to place the unit code letters in a forward position. I am not saying there were no exceptions, but perhaps widening your research to a unit which possibly placed the individual code letter behind the roundel would be beneficial? It seems to have been rather unusual.

Hi
From the photo to me there doesnt seem space for a letter/s between the roundel and the fin
Thus the first letter forward of the roundel ( a letter T ) made me think of TH and 418 Sqn
I checked a sq code site and it seems 418 Sqn is the most likely boston intruder sqn
but i will do somemore research
cheers
