Interesting, especially the 115/145. The octane equivalent #s from that era seem to be all over the map. If actually 115/145, that's a big delta in performance

If actually 115/145, that's a big delta in performance for lean operation, and certainly helps the narrative. Do you have a primary source? I'd like to read further.
Regardless, what's certain is the Germans were in the high 40s mmHg for manifold pressure in late variant DB 605, vs the Allies were in the 60s mmHg for Merlins.
