And the problem is what?Well, I understand that there were actual victories scored by Ansons that inspired this box art?

At this point the Brits will chime in and assure us that Ansons scored 324 confirmed victories over Luftwaffe fighters and were the scourge of the skies until the jet age. I especially like how that single .303 machine guns is blowing the Wulf's gear right out of the wing.
Just like the deadly Boulton Paul Defiant.
Even though that's just box art, I don't think that was intended to be a "wulf" the other EAs are Japanese.And the problem is what?
Zoom in. No Japanese. BalkenkreuzEven though that's just box art, I don't think that was intended to be a "wulf" the other EAs are Japanese.
You're not aware of the Crittondon Raid on Tokyo by Ansons in September of 1942?Even though that's just box art, I don't think that was intended to be a "wulf" the other EAs are Japanese.
It was apparently common practice to equip Spits bound for Malta with BOTH four 20MM AND four .303 guns. It was a way of providing spares. And they stuffed the ammo boxes with every kind of tool and spare part they could cram in there.It also looks like EP has a C wing with 4 cannons and AR a C wing with 2?
Also, different propellers. AR525 has a de Havilland and EP965 has the Rotol.

BTW-where did you get that information on the contract number and manufacturer?The AR 525 was the Westland built Spitfire while the EP 965 was the Vickers-Armstrong one. Both were built as a part of the Vb / Vc batches. For the Ar 525 it was the Contract no. B981687/39/C.23(C) and the B124305/40 for the EP965. The EP 965 was of Vb trop series and the AR 525 of the Vc/Vc trop one. And indeed the Westalnd factory mounted the De Havilland props for their Spitfire Mk.Vb/c.
