Bf 109 E-1s during the Battle of Britain

I am trying to figure out how large share of the Bf 109s that were of the E-1 model during the Battle of Britain.

Based on loss lists, I get the impression that at least one-fourth - maybe even as much as one-third - of all Bf 109s in the combat units at the English Channel were of the early E-1 model throughout the BoB. This assumption is reinfor4ced through the fact that although production of Bf 109 E-1 ceased in August 1940, no less than 100 of the 323 Bf 109s which were delivered to the combat units at the English Channel through September 1940 were of the early E-1 model. (Source: Prien et al, "Die Jagdfliegerverbände", Teil 4/II, p. 427.)

It would be most appreciated if anyone has access to figures for the numbers of Bf 109 E-1s in service with frontline units at various stages during the Battle of Britain.
