Hello All,
Below are several links to photographs and information on the AGM-12C Bullpup B air-to-surface missile (distinctively different in appearance and size from other Bullpup versions), which was designed to carry a 1,000 pound semi-armor-piercing warhead to a greater range (10 miles) than the 7-mile range of other Bullpup versions. A variant of the AGM-12C fitted with a cluster bomb warhead (for use against anti-aircraft sites) was called the AGM-12E. Also, there were at least two variations in the planform of its distinctive, long-chord rear wings, which resembled the fins of the Centuri and Estes Viking model rocket kits. Here are the links:

http://www.bocn.co.uk/gallery/showimage.php?i=5102&c=602&orderby=title&direction=DESC&cutoffdate=-1 (NOTE: The Bullpup missile in this photograph is listed as an AGM-12D, but it has the much wider body of the AGM-12C and the AGM-12C's unusual long-chord rear wings. The rear wings on this missile, however, have slightly clipped tips. Can any Bullpup experts [I am not one] positively identify which variant this missile is?)
