Hurri had a complete wing re-skin from fabric to aluminium.
Which is already referenced in 1939 manuals. The skin stressed type wings were strength tested in 1940 for a 6700lb load.

Also, most of the props were de-havilland wich was more effective but heavier.
25lb.

A fully equipped MkIIa was 6998lb, according to the weight and balance chart in the manual. It essentially had all modifications that were included in the Mk.I, plus a few extras, and a heavier XX engine installation.
