I think you will find, that before 1947 (and Independance) that IAF aircraft used RAF Serials. I have only seen IAF serials on Tempests and IIRC these were purchased by the IAF from either RAF Stocks or direct from Hawkers and prob after 1947.....

I can't remember any Spits having IAF Serials but no dount Mr Spitfire can confirm otherwise!

Military aircraft supplied from the UK to foreign airforces usually have an RAF Serial as well as a 'local serial'
