Incorrect. Some/most A-4E's (and all might have eventually been

The avionic mod made it to quite a few A-4's. Even the "Air Barrons"
(VA-204?) had humps. Pretty sure they were flying A-4L's (C's upgraded
to E standards for the reserve squadrons). I have a picture of one
around somewhere that I took when they did a show at Daytona Beach
while I was attending ERAU. That was 72 or 73.

For those that don't recall, the "Air Barrons" were the reserve
equivalent of the Blue Angels back in the 60's and early 70's. Beleive
they were disbanded around 74 or 75. Did a pretty good show.
