Excellent work. What's the silver item on the lower port rear fuselage? Autolycus sensor? I believe the fitting on top of the fuselage was the Orange Harvest ESM equipment.

Heat exchangers, one either side, for the heat created by onboard computers I believe

They're actually Dragonair combustion heaters for keeping the cabin and bomb bay heated. On the early MR2 there was also one more in the nose which sometimes shows in pictures as a dirty smear along the starboard side of the nose.

Cooling the radios, radar and sonics was by a ram air intake that fed into a ventilation system in the overhead cabinets on the port side.
