The original C model was not equipped with a cannon, it had only air to air missiles for combat. The E model has an extended barrel cannon in the pod beneath the nose as well as a longer nose. The front nose gear door on the C mosel is flat whereas the E model front door is contoured to match the gun housing.

After closer inspection, it looks like Adil's paint scheme i s a later RF4C model, which has a slimmer nose than the original C which was quite fat and stubby looking. I'll find a picture of one for comparison and post.
