Two of the three clearly have markings that seperate them as LF111s with the white square still being worn behind the fuselage boss
Other than the suggested camera port there is positive evidence to the third AC being a Sea Fire as Opposed to T 9..possibly 160.
Unless there is a more specialized way to positivel conform that it is not a T( given the amount of write offs but the time the T(s came in service it could be assumed that it is actually a Lf 111.
Juts to confirm that 5 of the six T9s left the country was 160 scrapped or was he used instructionally or exported as part of some package.
