The 'Aboukir' filter rather than the 'Volkes' could be considered the filter more applicable to North Africa and the Spit Vb Tropical. I wonder if the next TF patch will give us the 'Aboukir' filter.

Extract as follows:
Many VB(trop)s were modified by 103 MU (Maintenance Unit-RAF depots in which factory fresh aircraft were brought up to service standards before being delivered to squadrons) at Aboukir, Egypt by replacing the Vokes filter with locally manufactured "Aboukir" filters, which were lighter and more streamlined.
Happy Landings,
