Adam to bump this up for you so that maybe someone else will answer here is my take!
To be PIC you must be licened to fly as Pilot in Command which also means you must be licenced to fly that particular N reg aircraft.
If the licences and ratings you hold qualify you to do so then simply the answer is YES?
If You are doing a standalone licence but already are qualified to fly the said aircraft by the FAA on the back of your UK licence then the answer also has to be YES?
The Helicopter Instructor has to be wrong in giving PIC time as does the Cessna instructor in denying you the PIC time.
