The Mk 4s were ordinary Mk 1s that had been partially stripped out to accommodate extra radar operators positions down the port side for training purposes.
To the best of my knowledge there was never a tail turret fitted in a production Shackleton. The Mk 2 had a pointy plastic lookout position in the tail where somebody could travel prone, but in that case he would be flying feet-first.
