As things stand I think most of the Hurricanes were later Mark IIcs as used in the movie. There wasn't difference exteranaly. I thintwoare still flying with the RAF's Battle of Britiain memorial flight. One was the last ever Hurricane built.

Hawker Hurricane PZ865 appeared in the movie. It was the last Hurricane produced and is flown by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire.

Also a Canadian built Mk XII.

Don't know what Mk was the 3rd flyable Hurricane.
