Plus a few more squadrons that had mark IV for around a month
in all three theatres.

There were squadrons that only had Hurricane Mark IVs for a month? That
seems unusually inefficient.
As you tour the web and references you find the engine of the
Hawker Hurricane mark IV is often given as a Merlin 24 or 27.

Rolls Royce report only a possibility that a
Hurricane flew with a Merlin 24 or 27 and then
for test purposes only.
The Merlin 27 built were converted to Merlin
25, which had reverse flow cooling for the
Mosquito.

I noted in many photos of the Mosquito that
engines have only 5 exhaust gas "pipes".
Where is the 6th one?

"Due to the geometry of the wing, engine cowlings, and the
leading edge of the radiators on the inboard side of the
nacelles, it was not possible to fit six individual exhaust
stubs on both sides. To allow for a standard setup on each
side, the #6 exhaust was routed forward to join with the #5
stub. While this allowed the exhausts to fit into the
physical space available on the inboard side, it was less
than ideal from a performance standpoint."
