Thanks for the correction. Re-reading the entry in my reference work, it actually reads "Article XV squadrons of the RCAF, RAAF and RNZAF. Not all used and outside the scope of this volume."
"Article XV of the British Empire Air Training Scheme agreement catered for the provision of a certain number of squadrons manned by Canadian, Australian and New Zealand personnel to RAF Commands. These were squadrons of the RCAF, RAAF and RNZAF and so have been omitted from this volume of RAF squadrons. In addition to these 400-series squadrons, each air force had other squadrons numbered in its permanent air force series which duplicated RAF numbers. The South African Air Force did not participate in Article XV and numbered its squadrons from 1 upwards."
It looks like I took a comment about some RCAF squadrons being re-numbered in the 400-series to avoid confusion with RAF units, as being applicable to all article XV squadrons. My apologies.
