It's fitted as a Mk. IF, isn't it ?

Yes.
Photo by George Land which gives a better view of the Mk. IF's gun-tray, found here: http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2014/11/20/aviation-news-she-flies-bristol-blenheim-mk-i-l6739-g-bpiv-takes-to-the-skies-at-iwm-duxford/

Maybe the decision to rebuild the crashed Bolingbroke G-BPIV as a short nosed Blenheim
Mk.I was somewhat influenced by the two landing crashes that happened to long nosed
versions ? It was in the German "Klassiker der Luftfahrt" magazine, I think, where it was mentioned
that the Mk.IV had a more difficult handling and much worse view from the cockpit.
