Re: Placing the Bell P39 Aircobra.
The Hurricane Mk.IV carried armour around the engine, radiator and cockpit. If this was not "meaningful" in comparison with the lack of same on the Mk.IId, then I suggest the difference is semantic not real.

Thanks for the Shores' reference, I shall look it up.

I would agree that the discussion seems to have moved away from its original intention, at least as I saw it. We are not discussing the real P-39 but some imaginary idealised version that might have embarrassed even Larry Bell.
