Ersatz Tempest Idea

How far off would a Fury/Sea Fury be from replicating a Tempest? A Mk.II could be easily replicated with a paint job, but how about mounting a Griffon with a nose mounted radiator to replicate a Mk.V in lieu of yet another R-3350 conversion????
Any idea how far off the lofted shape would be?
The radiator installation could likely be made to have less drag than the two underwing radiators of the later Spitfires. At least that's what the aerodynamics textbooks of the day said...
