My befuddled early morning brain couldn't remember which engines were installed in the Victor.

Both the Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire and the Rolls-Royce Conway rang a bell. The answer is both!

Wiki says the B.1 version had the Sapphire and the B.2 had the Conway which probably explains the difference in the intakes. Not sure which is which though.

The Victor also made an appearance earlier in the thread.

Prompted by Gravdigr's post:

ETA Looks like the B.2 (Conway) in the camouflage colour scheme and the B.1 (Sapphire) in the all white paint job.
