It wasn't a mix of the two, it was one of Hawker's three "big engine" fighter projects of which only the Typhoon entered production and service.  It was prototype only and therefore not a valid addition.

The beauty of the "must have seen combat" rule is this automagically limits the arms race.

Name one perk ride that did not see combat, was not in series production and did not equip at least one squadron.
