Another thing, note the difference in markings of the AIM9Es, especially the yellow warhead stripes:

Here is a F-4E with missiles:
 

 
the AIM-9s are white, the launchers look white compared to the pylon.
 
edit: here is a top view which has the rails looking like grey:

John here is a drawing from a manual of the i/b pylon:
 

 
Note 5 gives the airframe numbers which had that  panel which i think to allow for electrical connections to the forward stores like ECM pods, before they went to Note 6 a small door.

Now i see what you are talking about, if you zoom in on this pic you can make out the scoops, especially  the one on the port side:

Not as dirty but a few smudges here and there:

I found this one a bit strange, not the one in foreground but the one in the upper left being chased by a pair of SAMs and AAA and others being blasted from the sky:

You mean these ones by the exhaust:
 

 
the inner one looks larger.

One thing the F-4 was noted for was the absolutely filthy undersides.   I started weathering this area previously but had to wait until I had all 200 or so decals in place before I could continue.   Decals are now in place, so I went back to work with a few shades of Flory Washes, some AK Used Oil and good old thinned black enamel.   Here's a good example of the real deal (although if I tried hard, I could find others that were even dirtier):
 

 
Here is where I'm currently at.

 

 

 

 
Pre-weathering picture of the outer wing.   Got a bit of overspray to deal with on the leading edge areas but I'm pretty content with the way things turned out. 

 
That's it for now, thanks for checking in lads!

Here is a British F-4 showing the panel:
 

 
and early F-4Cs with lighter looking panels, probably still fiberglass yellow before weathering turned them brown:
