I was asked if I could post some of my pics to highlight the differences between the two versions. I'll just highlight the biggest visible differences between the two, as a lot of the changes are to the airframe structure & avionics package.
The cockpit has made the change over from the steam gauges to the glass cockpit. This isn't new to the -47s as the MH models have been configured like that for some time. Its just finally trickeld down to the plain jane versions.

There is an additional pitot tube on the right boom, siamesed onto a larger diameter boom. The left side boom is unchanged:

The 4 exhaust screens on top of the aft pylon (two on each side of the centerline) have been replace with just two screens that are on the centerline.

The avionics clostet has different sized black boxes. This is the F closet. I'll have to dig for a D closet, so stay tuned.
