Mirage IIIE weapon options (Armée de l'Air)

Hello everyone,

Just trying to ge some perspective on what weapons/stores combo’s were cleared for the Mirage IIIE’s in French service and I am failing quite poorly atm. I gather they could carry all the ordinance the IIIC could (various Iron bomb/rocket pods), but also the AN-52.

Durandals and Exocet are the two stores I am concerned with, were they ever used within the Armée de l’Air as operational loadouts, or was it just the case of Dassault demo jets showing the variety of weapons that could be used on the Mirage III varients? Also where would the Durandals be carried (if used)? As it looks like the undercarriage quite dominates the centre belly of the Mirage III series.

If anyone has any pictures or info on the questions asked it would be greatly appreciated,

cheers
