They forgot to mention the defence of Malta.

They did not forget. AHQ Malta was not part of or subordinate to Fighter Command.

The Mustang IV-picture shows a D and a K airframe.

Was it normal to mix those two within squadrons (USAAF or RAF), given their different props?

 

It's probably less of a logistics hassle than at first thought (given different block-numbers in a squadron to be taken care of).

Never thought about this, but how much variation between airframes and engines was typicylly acceptable?

Is anything known about possible performance differences between the Aeroproducts prop used on the "K" as compared to the Hamilton Standard?

B/Cs flew with D/Ks squadrons.

In North Africa Spitfire Mk IXs were dribbled into operational Mk V squadrons as they arrived and flew together - typically with the Mk Vs in fighter-bomber role and the Mk IXs providing cover, according to "Spitfire Aces of N.Africa and Italy". So I am sure that the RAF would have preferred uniformity, but was flexible enough to mix units if required.
