RAF Sea King info request

I am completing an oil painting of an RAF Sea King in Snowdonia. The reference photograph of the airframe that I am using was taken at a distance comparable with the position within the painting. A lack of clear detail means that I am having to cross refer with many other close up photographs to acquire knowledge of the fine detail. My question is: (If it does not involve an essay) What are the visible external differences between a Mk3 and a Mk3a Sea King noting both additions and subtractions (if any) from the airframe. Were all 'in service' Sea Kings Mk3a at the time of their retirement? Specifically the Valley based examples. Did SKTU airframes wear Sqn badges? Answers received with gratitude.
