The vox EQ in MK VII is held in the two rather large tube/studs on either side of the grill of the MK VII helmet, and the grill itself is both an external vox speaker and re-breather unit, hence the less pronounced 'beak'

The MK IV is and example of this, and there is indeed a variant between the VI and VII that looks like a mish-mash of MK VII, MK VI, and MK IV. It is seen on a few very rare and old GW metal SM.
Any chance for a pic of that variant? Also, would the Mk6 be fluffy on Raptors, I sure hope so!
