Well instead of stripping down the machines , should have asked to aquire licence to make the parts /manufacture parts for the choppers in Pakistan (Origional Copies under licence)

Certainly a thank you to British engineers who helped with the refurbishment

Production line is closed long time ago.

Yes and the camera was going up and down so it’s total 5, 2 for spares and 3 flyable version

Green ones could potentially be for SSGN.
Yes and maybe to support the Pakistan Marines as well. Does the PN dedicate helicopters to support them?

Or they could simply be repainted.
I doubt it because their struts lack sponsons above the wheels. Other Sea Kings normally have them. This is a feature of the
Westland Commando variants which were operated by the Royal Navy and mainly in green, in support o the Royal Marines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_Helicopter_Force
