Its not easy to tell but there are pictures of the Hawk and the Heron on Page 243 of Bill Harvey and Dr R J Solly's book on "BP Tankers" and it looks as if Hawk's Bridge is in the right place and Heron just aft of centre.

Both are Port Bow shots except that Hawk is in loaded condition and Heron is light.

Photographs can be deceptive though. :?
