Benevolens Magister
Here's what I've found so far Dirk. The Beaus given over, 100 of them, were MkVIf's, fitted with AI Mk1 radar, in the 'normal' nose, with the arrowhead antenna and dipoles on the wings, and also MkVIf's with the centimetric MkVII radar, in the 'thimble' nose. All were painted in the standard RAF night fighter camouflage of overall Medium Sea Grey, with Dark Green disruptive pattern upper surfaces.
The pics and smaller profile sheet are from Squadron Signal Beaufighter in Action, whilst the larger profile sheet is from 'Warpaint - Beaufighter'.
You can see the 'thimble' nose on the profile, and in one of the pics.
I probably have some B&W profiles somewhere if you need more info.
Hope this helps.
