I don't doubt an Englishman might have flown it-
why not,  if he was taking it for repairs?
Or that it might have been in RAF service;
I have no way of knowing.
But the RAAF was in North Africa,
it's painted RAAF and the battery pack is RAAF.
Occum's Razor- It's RAAF.

Supportive quote:
"Group Captain Clive Robertson Caldwell DSO, 
 DFC & Bar  (28 July 1910 - 5 August 1994) 
 was the leading Australian air ace of World War II. ...
 Caldwell flew Curtiss P-40 Tomahawks and Kittyhawks 
 in the North African Campaign ....."
