Did 45 Sqn Hunters carry weapons?

Hi folks, I’m looking at the 1/32 Revell Hunter with the 45 Sqn decals. Did they carry weapons at all as I can’t seem to find any inspiration or references.

Picture in  Hunters - The Hawker Hunter In British Military Service by Martin W. Bowman shows FGA.9 XG261/64 loosingoff rockets over a range in June 1974.

 

Caption describes them as SNEB Rocket Pods and they are in different shades of natural metal for the nose/main body/tail on the outer wing pylons , DSG over LAG tanks on the inner.

There are some photos on Modeldecal set 25 and 26 showing 45 and 58 Sqn Hunters with asymmetric outer wing stores of SNEB under one wing and CBLS under the other. This was I believe quite common on these two Squadrons.
