My vote would be Maxim.

Sir Peter Downward is ringing huge bells too.

Wasn't he close to Arthur Harris? I know he has DSO, DFC after his name too.

Doubt it, it just looks that way because the original photo is using the more modern metal link while the second one is using the ww1 standard cloth belt, which is wider.

The original shows the mounting configured for AA use, in case anyone was wondering.
