RN pressure refuel point was/is starboard side below the sliding cargo door. Not sure about the Jungly ones though.
Gravity fuel points are on the port side.
AFAIK only the RN had the pressure refuel point below the sliding door. The norwegian, belgian and the german ones, which I used to fly, had it beside the door. On pictures of the commando version I found them there too.
The position below makes it easier for HIFR, but the german MK41 did that method too.
