As was posted above, you can clearly see in this photo that it is in standard F.2 configuration with the normal small ventral tank, not the enlarged tank as fitted to the F.2A, F.6, F53 & T.55.
What you can see is the 4 x cannon muzzle slots in the upper and lower nose.
When the F.2's were modded to F.2A configuration, it seems that the lower cannon were removed as every photo of RAFG F.2A's I've looked at all have the lower cannon muzzle slots faired over with plate. It would seem therefore that it's very unlikely that the 6-gun fit was ever fitted operationally.
