As this A/C was built for the Royal Navy contract it never was an F-6 of any stripe. PJM

The F-6 was named Skyray.

The Martlet I was Grumman Model G-36A, originally ordered by the French directly from Grumman. The Martlet II was Grumman Model G-36A, they were ordered by the Royal Navy directly from Grumman. Not all Royal Navy Corsairs were F4Us. Some were FGs and some were F3As.
