Phantom FGR.2 KB-18 Strike Camera

I am building the 1:48 Revell Phantom FGR.2. I decided to build the 2 Squadron machine which has the KB-18 Strike Camera. However i cannot find a photo anywhere which is detailed enough for me to paint the front face of the pod. You get a clear part to fit in the kit but clearly there must be an aperture where the camera is fitted behind this. Does anyone have any detailed photo of this front on?

The KB-18 is a panoramic Strike Camera, which is not what was carried in that camera "pod".

According to the below site, "a pod-mounted strike Camera System could also be carried with F.95 or G.90 cameras."
