Hurricane armament during the FC of 1940 & BoB

Hello,

Someone has pointed out to me the following sources about Hurrican armament during the WC/BoB. Seems there is considerable disagreement, although they are not very significant. What is the accurate number?

A. Gillet - 2 800 rounds, i.e. 350 rpg

Francis K. Mason in his "Hurricane" monograph - 2 660 rounds, i.e. 332.5 ( ?) rpg

Len Deighton in his book "Fighter" - 300 rpg (totalling 2 400 rounds)

Jerry Scutts in his "Squadron-Signal" monograph : 334 rpg (totalling 2

Regards,
