I pulled out the F-111F flight manual and found out the following.  Wing stations 3, 4, 5, &, 6 when carrying MK-81 or MK-82 HDGP or LDGP bombs all six stations on the BRU can be loaded.  When loading only two BRU's, they were loaded on station 3 & 6,  With MK-117, MK-83 & MK-84 on station 4 and 5, they used the slant four load configuration.  Stations 3 & 6 could carry six MK-117, Mk-83 or MK-84 bombs.  The only time the wing sweep was limited was when stations 1, 2, 7, &, 8 was loaded.  The wings were limited to 23 degrees wing sweep.  When stations  3, 4, 5, &, 6 was loaded with MK-117, MK-83 or MK-84 bombs the wing sweep was also limited and full sweep could not be used.

The BRU's used on the F-111 was different than the MER's used by other aircraft.  I have yet to see any model maker include BRU's in their kits.  Even the ones used on the F-15E are different than the ones used on the F-111.  With some modification they can be used though. 

Below are the only shots of the BRU I can find.  I can't find a good close up view of them.
