Although they might have ended up at Coltishall on 226 OCU, as most of the F1As that were servicable ended up there. Cant read the XM numbers, or I could tell you.
If I'm not mistaken, the F1A in LM's photo ("A") is XM173, which did indeed go to the OCU and then for many years was a gate guard at Bentley Priory.

It still survives, although as you can see in the photo the fin and outer wings were crudely sawn off in order to transport it by road subsequently:
