I think you're right, with the possible exception of the "Federal" 1960
and 1970 Mk.3s. There might be some difference in graining, as, for
example, the HardlyBoys RaceSpit4 has its original top pad, and it
appears to have a much coarser graining than I recall seeing on other
early Spitfires.
Rimmer Bros. does list this part, but I've not seen it so I can't tell
you what the graining is like.
