Bristol F.2b F4717 was a Mk.IV serving with No.2 Squadron.
The Bristol F.2b F4717 in the same issue does not appear to be a Mk.IV as it does not have the enlarged fin and balanced rudder of that mark nor the HP slots. It is one of No.4's refurbished wartime aircraft.

Japan's first fighter of indigenous design, the Koshiki-2 appeared to owe much to the Spad S.XIII and Salmson 2 A1 fighters.
Jack Meaden sends in his identification of the Japspad on page 109 of the last AM. It is a Ko Type 2, also known as the A-94, and one was built by the Tokorosawa Army Flight School in 1922. It had a 230 hp Salmson 9Z engine which explains its French appearance and was based on the Salmson 3C-1. I-struts replaced the normal pairs, the fin and rudder were revised and a faired head-rest added behind the cockpit. The tailplane struts are unusual in that the front one was attached to the fuselage a considerable distance forward of the tailplane. The Japanese also used the Salmson 2A-2 observation aircraft which had a similar engine.
