The Nuri is an S61A model, which was the original civil certified Sea King, hence the shorter fuselage.

I also understand that they are still fitted with the original CT58-110 engines, rather than the -140 that was the norm for offshore machines. In the tropical heat it must struggle for adequate performance.
