There were only three (yes, three) types of Hunter grip.
The version up to the F.4/F.5 is the same as shown below from my Hunter F.4 cockpit:

It has a ‘sliding’ trim switch and large metal buttons under the safeties and a multi-socket in the base of the grip. The second variant is not really prevalent, but IIRC Mark G had one, which was a variant of the latter grip that had what is known as the ‘tri-corn’ trim switch mounted slightly on the side of the top of the grip. It has the smaller plastic standard ‘Dunlop’ type switches with the rubber shrouds and a cable that exits the side of the grip to run down the outside of the column. This was fitted on everything from F.6 up. The variant only differed in that the trim switch thumb piece was a sort of truncated version of the tri-corn which if I recall correctly had the top and bottom lumps missing. But we never really got to the bottom of which Hunter type it was fitted to and may have been an interim version that didn’t work in the real world.
An STI number tends to refer to a technical instruction (or modification) that was applied – probably a minor electrical rework
