Only good image I have it seems.

From what I can tell the panel sitting near the trailing edge is normally fitted near the leading edge just behind the cannon fairings - and the other two double-hinged panels swing aft to cover the magazines and rear portions of the guns.

Some debate about the material lining the gun bay, some kind of leather or some kind of fibre board?

Probably felt.

Probably felt.

There was a discussion about this on Britmodeller and whilst nobody seemed sure I think it might have been Chris Thomas, whose opinion I would respect, who thought it might have been some kind of fibre board.
On a model I think it would be a fairly simple matter to represent the material in a realistic way without having to know its exact composition, be it fibre, leather or indeed felt.
Cheers
