What were the differences between US and British aircrafts? I do not believe that English just gave another designation. :-think

No special difference. In UK they are designated as Hellcat I and II. Camouflage difference is obvious.

The Royal Navy received 252 F6F-3s and 930 F6F-5s which it operated as Hellcat I and Hellcat II respectively.
The F6F-5P's were camera-equipped version; but unlike most other reconnaissance machines, these also carried guns.
