This is definitely a B.2. Three ejection seats therefore not a PR type. Engine starter buttons are for the single cartridge type starters therefore not a B.6 (and it’s not T.4).

Still not sure of the identity of this cockpit section though, at the moment WJ640 is in the frame so to speak. This was owned by a Film Studio based, I think, at Denham Aerodrome and last recorded in 1991. So, it could be anywhere now. Maybe someone can tighten up on this.

But then again, life’s to short to try and follow through on this hulk. After being used as a “Broadsword” spaceship in a sub-B class film of a computer game it is probably now owned by the film company or handed on to a scrappy like most of the Lightning cockpits were.
