ID of crash-landed 92 Squadron Spitfire?

Two old ebay shots showing a crashed Spitfire QJ-E of 92 Squadron in the Western Desert area. Unfortunately it seems that the serial was overpainted, but the fact that it came down in german held territory where it was photographed by seemingly quite relaxed soldiers, plus the fact that 92 Squadron received their Spitfires only in August 1942 lets me assume that this loss occured in late summer or autumn 1942, before the battle of El Alamein. Can somebody help with additional info on this bird?

Cheers and TIA,
Christian
