Does anyone know if there were any physical differences between the mkVb and mkVc?

My son has bought me an Airfix Spitfire mkVc for my birthday and I would like to build it as a Vb, as used in the Orkneys by the City of Glasgow Squadron 602.

Any images or links would be appreciated.

From what I remember the letter donates the wing armament configuration and I always thought the 'b' was the single machine gun and single cannon.

Then I found this link and the thread explains it all a bit better than I ever could:

That's a good thrread from Richard. The fourth reply is from Edgar Brookes and you can be pretty certain that it is a definitive answer.

Here is another illuminating link. You'll find some good drawings here too.
