Hi Dinga,
I'm actually working on an early Mk. IX which didn't have all the refinements of the later Mk. IX variants. The narrow cigar shaped blisters in your photos did not become standard until mid 1944. The C wing was designed to house 2 cannons per wing, hence the wide blisters seen on early Mk. IXs and Mk. Vcs. Have a look at these photos:
