Hood's proposed secondary mounts

Those positions are considered plausible, but the choice between 5.25-inch and 4.5-inch mounts remains uncertain.

Question

Would Hood's proposed 5.25-inch mounts be placed as in Drachinifel's model?

Short answer

Those positions are considered plausible, but the choice between 5.25-inch and 4.5-inch mounts remains uncertain.

Notes

The mount positions in Drachinifel's model look plausible for Hood's proposed refit. Either 5.25-inch or 4.5-inch mounts remain possible, so accepting that layout does not settle the calibre.
