I believe that the wings did not fold, but the wings were not resparred to do this. The folding system, the hydraulics and such are removed and pins are placed through the locking points. I am sure there were a myriad of other detail differences to change operations from cool carrier climates to desert operations as well. Think of sealing your car door shut. You would never reskin the side of the car, just jam the lock closed.
