Air-to-air refueling receptacle on NATO Thunderstreaks?

[Rob de Bie]

I seem to remember vaguely that the air-to-air refueling receptacle was removed or changed on NATO Thunderstreaks, or more specifically Dutch F-84Fs. I checked all my sources, but could not find any text on this subject. I see a red lead-in stripe on some Dutch F-84Fs, but I cannot find clear top views. Maybe I remembered it wrong, does anyone here know? I also saw in only one photo that the receptacle was used for single-point ground refueling.

 

Thanks in advance for any information!
