Ducted spinner Tempest NV768

In late 1944 or early 1945 the Hawker company test-fitted Tempest Mk.V NV768 with a ducted spinner for tests with the Napier engine. A picture of the plane can be found, for example, in Squadron/Signal's volume on the Typhoon and Tempest, page 49.

Now does anybody know when exactly this modification was carried out? Was Tempest NV768 an ancestor of the Tempest II-programme or had the Napier test nothing to do with it?

Regards,
Christian
