Yep, there was an F-104 trainer version of the MB-326, too, with an entire nose section mounted on the trainer. Bazzocchi refused to touch it even with a long pole...

Why, it worked on Canadair's CL-41R ;D

Because Ermanno Bazzocchi had a strong esthetics sense, since it was Italian...

Would it be able to function as a "home-defense" interceptor as well, I wonder?

 

[Skybolt]

Oh, no. It lacked weapons.

'The World's Fighting Planes' by William Green, 1964 Edition has some more proposed G.91R variants.

G.91R5 - a version with increased range intended for Norway
G.91.BS/1 - single seat battlefield surveillance aircraft using the fuselage of the G.91T
G.91.BS/2 - is the two-seat version of the BS/1

At that time too the G.91Y and YT were also projects!
