Thanks Mark and Niallpatty, that has gone a long way to answering some of my questions.

Another question, did the PR.3 have a different camera door arrangement with external panels sliding in raised grooves.

PR7 at RAF Millom

Here are a couple of pics of our PR7. The hatch that is open just aft of the trailing edge on the belly made reference to camera equipment.
