Welcome to the site. Very nice work

Some light but important upgrading to the first MOSSIE -PZ468.
She seems not to have the large radio mast on top of the fuselage.
I bet it's surely an antenna whip.

Hello JMG. I've found photos of PZ468 and RF610. If you would like them PM me your email and I'll blast them off to you. PZ468 seems to have a darker colour on the nose (fresher paint?) and RF610 is shown carrying only 2 rockets per wing

Good stuff.
With reference to the radio mast - on earlier FB Mosquito types, the mast was used, but without the wire antenna. With a change to the later SCR radios, the antenna was fitted internally, in the mid rear fuselage, and later moved to the location originally used for the mast, when 'Gee' was fitted, being fitted into a socket in a circle of light brown, which was possibly dielectric material.
The original 'Gee' antenna occupied the internal location shown in the diagram below, but was later moved, and fitted as a 1 meter long whip antenna from the port, rear side of the cockpit canopy.
The equipment fit could depend on the period, Group and Squadron, and their respective roles, and only the study of photos can indicate what was fitted and when, and even then, it's often difficult to see the antennae in some photos.
