Re: Malta's Hurricanes camo scheme (1941)
A safer assumption would be that they all had the Vokes. This is without looking for photos.... however, I think that all overseas Hurricanes had the filter regardless of colour scheme, as in the Greek campaign and 73 Sq in the desert (Cull's Hurricanes over Tobruk).
The rules I use for interpreting (guessing?) the colour scheme is to look for the dark area around the canopy - that's TLS or possibly TropLS. If the lighter area is around the canopy it is Desert. I believe that Paul Lucas quotes an earliest date for Mid Stone in one of his books for Guideline: from memory this is 1940 and some of the earliest Hurricanes on the island were in the Desert scheme, but later ones reverted to TLS.
