I'm not at all certain they'd be able to strike below deck without a bunch of alterations including, but not limited to, folding wings and a folding vertical tail. I could see a "kneeling" landing gear, too.
I note that Janes doesn't know it's Australian Geography. Can you pick the mistake?
The C-27J appears darker to my eye, which was what I was remarking on.

Not sure but I think it might be the lighting conditions or even possible filters the photographer has applied. In some cases the RAAF C-130s can appear a lot darker too (click on image to see close up):

I'm well aware that what comes out of a lot of cameras, digital and wet-film is pretty subjective and what appears on the computer screen as well but it definitely appears darker than the C-130s, Greg.
Supposedly the C-130J and the new RAAF C-27J are both the same colour greys: Dark Grey FS36099 and Blue Grey FS-35237.
