I found this page which has an image of the gun installation in a real metal wing Hurricane that corroborates the shape shown here. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/8217/fgun/fgun-pe.html?200629 I have also found two drawings (no angles to door)and a photo which show a different door (reversed angle edges). The photo aircraft has the ejector stacks like this that are later than the first models. The propellor on this one without the hub spinner is like the Hamilton Standard used on a Canadian Car model with Packard 27/28. The rear view mirror above the windscreen I notice because of a reference to F-4's receiving this in the 1970's in Israel. As data ages the archtypes that remain can be ambiguous or challenging. One has to decide what is authoritative, an origianl drawing that may have never been built, a real surviro that has definitely been modified, or a model that was created years ago from some unknow but then authoritative source. Meanwhile pattern recognition, image enhancement and experts and AI have all been discredited after serving to give us the first digital pictures of Mars and Venus when no film photographs are even yet available.
