Sorry to say this one is not a reconnaissance Spitfire, I think what it is, is at a hight altitude Mk.VII fighter, see pictures attached.

I think the next one is the PR.XI, this was the one that was produced in the greater numbers and was also used by the USAAF.
I will have a look through my files once I get home (I'm stuck at this time in the north of England helping to clear Caroles mums house)

Early conversion of the PR.IX to PR.XI had the rounded tail

see - http://www.letletlet-warplanes.com/forum/vazduhoplovna-umetnost-warplane-art/pru-spitfires/msg13116/#msg13116

This was a PR.IX that first flow in Dec 1942, it was transferred to No.1 PRU at Benson for conversion to a PR.XI and was delivered to 541 Sqn in Oct 1943 with its original tail. later models had the high tail. For info, only 16 PR.IX was built.

hi mate,

This is the plane with which Jan Blair shot down a Bf 109 G-6/R3 on 20 February 1944 over the Orkneys. The "109" was Bf 109 G-6/R3, WNr 20537, coded A6+XH, from 1.(F)/Aufkl. Gr 120 at Stavanger-Sola in Norway. Pilote Oblt. Helmut Quednau has been killed.
