I have attached a snap shot from the Naval Historic Center that details this along with some VERY helpful flight data information which would aid in a more improved flight model. Classname could be F6F-5mb
PM me if you want the whole article. I have to e-mail due to forum upload limitations.

We're any standard F6F-5s equipped with this mixed armament? I've seen dozens and dozen's of pictures of Hellcats and never seen this on a regularly equipped F6F-5. The F6F-5/N with radar pod was equipped in such a way.
Also not sure if we can make modifications to any thou shall not be named aircraft manufactured by this company...
