Three tone grey (nice), but which 3?
Possibly - Neutral Gray FS36270, Light Ghost Gray FS36375 and Gunship Gray FS36118
Weapons and pods
3 x AN/ALQ-131
30 x AIM-120C
60 x AIM-9M
48 x LAU-129 (4 per aircaft - 2 x wing tips, 2 x outer wing pylons)
10 x GBU-12

Only 9 are piurchased from Portugal, in MLU version yes.
3 surplus from AMARG were buy, and modified to the same MLU standard.

My guess would be that they are the closest FS numbers to the colours that were used on the Lancers.
The reason I say that was that when the RAF ordered the F-4J(UK)s they gave the BS colour numbers for the Barley Grey scheme. Rather than obtain that colour they painted them in the closest FS number which is why the Js were delivered in Flint Grey and looked lighter than the rest of our F-4 fleet until repainted in majors.
