I did wonder about this but in those days the O of the registration was often painted on in the manner seen in #7. I'm fairly confident of my attribution particularly as DH Moths painted white were very rare at that time. The Moths arrived at Malta (Hal Far Aerodrome) on November 30th 1926. Their departure from Malta to Tripoli was delayed by bad weather until December 8th. Source: Stuart McKay ' The de Havilland DH.60 Moth' published 2016. Interestingly the author states that G-EBMO was painted Scarlet and White.
