Thats a bit of an awkward question!, UK Government sources have
indicated the gun is only to be fitted to RAF Tranche 1 aircraft,
however others have mentioned that the gun may be installed on all RAF
tranches, Now whether they are used or trained for use is another
thing, tranche II negotiations may make the distiction clearer.

Till then the official line is IIRC - Tranche 1 RAF will have it
fitted (55 aircraft) but not supported or trained with - ranche II
148 will not have it fitted.

Has the RAF confirmed that their T.1 and F.1 Typhoons are to be
supplied without the mauser gun capabilities? According to Typhoon's
entry on RAF's website there doesn't seem to have mention of a 27mm
mauser on the fighter

Smart move for an aircraft that is supposed to do Air defence and
close air support missions
