DH 5-20 propeller question

Would anyone know the type number and pitch range of the DH 5-20 2-pitch propeller actually used on the early in-service Spitfires and Hurricanes?

Was the same prop used on both aircraft?

I have found this Martlesham Heath July 1939 report (Type P.3-5-5-7 airscrew with a pitch range of 32½° – 45° )

but I don’t know if it was an experimental prop or went on to be used in service.

Hoping someone can help.
