Lancaster 1 PD377

I was wondering if anyone knows if this lancaster had a bulged bomb doors for tallboys or had normal bomb doors? I want to build a model of George Thompson lancaster.

Thanks

Re: Lancaster 1 PD377

For what its worth "The AVRO Lancaster. by Mason" says this..
AvVRO Lancaster Mark I Special
Production batch of 32 aircraft built by A.V Roe and co ltd Newton Heath etc..
adapted to carry 22,000 Lb Grand Slam Bomb,PB995-PB998,PD112-PD139, deliveries
commenced January 1945, completed March 1945.
...And seeing PD377 was lost 1 Jan 1945, bulged doors "seems" unlikely.
