Philip,

right you are, the Greek RF-4E's had been sold/ donated by Germany in the early 90's taken from TRW 51 and TRW 52 (the other half was given/ sold to Turkey. The "glass" is the window for the foreward looking camera.

I had flown the RF-4E with TRS 521 until December 1993 and scored about 1,500 flying hours. Then I was transfered to RAF Cottesmore for the transition training to the PA-200 Tornado.

On Jan. 7th the last 6 RF-4E's had been flown out of Leck AB to Manching where these last six joined the rest of the RF-4's designated for Turkey, while all RF-4's to Greece had been flown out already months before.

Agree on the JASDF markings.

 

Disagree on the gun. You can see the shiny glass panel at the front of the “gun”  under-nose feature. This photo will make it much clearer:
