Nice profiling and backstory. Just a thought for some possible profiles, NBMR.3 is revised early on to reflect operational reality and not require supersonic performance, as a result, a P.1127 variant is declared the winner and is built by a consortium of Hawker-Siddeley, Breguet, Northrop, Aermacchi, and Dornier for NATO-wide use, seeing use with all members (though I could see France going their own way, determinedly, with use of the very similar MD.610 Cavalier despite Breguet's membership in the consortium).
