Question

Would Britain choose TSR-2 or an F-111K-like alternative if both were available?

Short answer

Britain would probably choose TSR-2 because it matched the national specification, although the F-111K-like alternative is preferred here.

Notes

The F-111K-like option is preferred here, while British institutions would probably make a different choice. Britain would likely select TSR-2 because it was built around the country's own stated specification.
