The exhausts are what made me question the Mk of that aircraft. They look like Mk. I ejector stacks. Also the Windshiled appears to be not armored.
I found a picture of Z5252 White 51. This aircraft is listed as a Mk. II in the serial info I have, but the exhaust is the early ejector stack. This aircraft was built by Gloster, not Hawker. It also appears that Gloster was building Mk. Is after Hawker had switched to Mk. II production. So it is possible that this is a Mk. II aircraft usinmg left over parts from the Mark I.
It appeas the ebay photo may be of a Gloster built Mk. II in the Z seial range.
