Army numbers were in "blocks", so it is possible to tell which regiment a soldier first joined. However, you know that information anyway.

Yes, that is how I understood you. I just do not have his Army number; only the RAF one (which does not tell us anything in this case).
Yes, the evidence points to him having joined-up with the Middlesex Regiment. Even if he joined-up with another regiment and was posted on to the Middlesex Regt, the metal shoulder title still suggests that he was in the regiment from 1939-1940.
