Note: the fins were offset by 45 °.
Thank you. Ah--like the British Blue Water ballistic missile, its fins were (or would have been) inter-digitated, as that fin arrangement is called. (That is also commonly done with multi-stage model rockets; by "staggering" the first and second stage fins in that way, it maximizes their effectiveness for stabilizing the models, because none of the fins are shielded from the airflow.)
