“Nigeria” Inscription on 91st Sqn Mk.XIIs?

Hello,

 

Looking at the few photos of 91st (“Nigeria”) Squadron available to me, I can see no “Nigeria”  nose inscription on either Mk.XII.

But I see it sporadically present on finished Mk.XII models in various scales.

 

Was there a rule to this?

I did an xii (airfix 1/48) and put the logo on.  Must admit i didn't do any research to see if it should have been there but i wanted it to be different to the vb i did.

 

not much help i know :)

Listermann's Allied Wings booklet on the Spitfire XII only shows one 91 Sqd side view photo, the starboard side of EN625/DL-K. Can't tell if there is an inscription or not. The port side profile he has of EN617/DL-E is drawn with the inscription and the aircraft is identified as the normal  aircraft flown by FO O'Shaughnessy.
