Good effort Richard - nice poses and a period hardly ever covered other than with AMX-13s(!)

Well, while you’re at it, you might consider adding a few straps say, of foil, or whatever, to replicate the extra cross-straps the 44 pat has. Your poses sort of leave a gap where they’re actually show up I feel; not too onerous and would just add that extra detail. There’d be no dispute that it was 44 Pat that’s for sure.
These are the parts I mean:
