Yes. PR means Photo Reconnaissance.
One can see, under the belly, right under the star and bars, that the
belly line is not straight, where a vertical camera was mounted.
Antoher feature is the nose, more prominent than on fighter Spitfires,
housing a bigger oil tank, for high level long range flights.
