There can only be presumptions, not final answers.

I would argue for the fabric wing. The picture you referenced does not realy show anthing. Was that a Zamaj bult a/c? Dis it have replacement wings.

As for the prop, is it possible that after the war began in '39, Rumania had acess to British props or were they taken from the Zamaj facility. Or were they delivered with three blade?

In the Osprey volume on Hurricane Aces, there is a pic of Hurricane L2001 with a three bladed prop, but the picture was taken in February of 1940, which means it could have been a replacement prop. There was a good deal of up-grading of the early Hurricanes, new props, new wings, new exhausts.

As for the 4 vs.3 gun per wing, I presume you are saying the Mushroom Model artice is wrong on this point.

The only reference I have to a gun arrangement different from the British 4 gun per wing, were the license built belgian a/c which were to have two 12.65 guns per wing.
