Clear or not- this images are really helpfull!! On the images above I have note differnet position of the navigation light on rudder and at this bottom image is clarly seen something very dark under the wing, small size, as well drop tank. Any additional info? You cant believe how hard is to get F. 46 images. Only 24 was in service.

The F47 could be fitted with either two under-wing 22 gallon fuels tanks or a 90 gallon centre-line tank. For my interest, they could also be fitted with a F.24 vertical and oblique recce cameras, somrthing I did not know  :-think

Found this on the web

"The last version of the Seafire, the Mk 47, saw action in Korea with No 800 Sqn flying their last missions in 1950. These aircraft were able to carry three 500 lb bombs or eight rockets and were 100 mph faster and 5000 lbs heavier than the first versions of the Seafire."

Also could they be mounting points for the under-wing drop tank?  :-think
