How did you leave on your British passport?

Usually passports are only checked on entry to a country, not on leave.

Where did you showed it on leave? Do you have a stamp? Any record of "leave"?

Then you shouldn't worry at all.

Immigration cares about what is in your passport. As long as CIC has in their systems the date you left, the document you used for boarding is not relevant.
