SPITFIRE HF IX ?

Australian War Memorial

"ITALY. 1943-11. An RAF Spitfire aircraft of the Desert Air Force being serviced in a farmyard at an advanced airfield. (British Air Ministry photograph, CNA2002)" This is interesting because it depicts a Spifire with extended wingtips. While this is not the definitive way to determine if it is a high flying version (HF) it is a reasonable enough assumption.
