' Mirage III/5/50 en service à l'étranger' by Chenel/Liébert/Moreau, LELA Presse, has a chapter about Mirage and Kfir aircaft in Israeli service.@Greg: the image you found shows one of two Kfir C2s that were fitted with a 1.2 metre focal length panoramic camera. Aircraft originally numbered 819 and 851, renumbered 419 and 451 after conversion. These Kfir C2s were replacements for Mirage IIICJ aircraft nrs 458, 799 (possibly others as well?) that were converted earlier.Francillon's 'McDonnell Douglas Aircraft since 1920 - Volume II', Putnam, gives a 1.68 metre focal length for the LOROP camera when describing the F-4E(S). That seems to rule out the LOROP camera in the Kfir and Mirage noses.Apologies for a very late answer to the original question, I'll try to post some images of the converted Mirage IIICJs and the Cheetah R later.
