From memory...

IIc = 4x20mm hispanos, 2x250lb or 2x500lb bombs.
IId = 2x40mm, 2x7.7mm, 2x500lb or 4x60lb or some sort of rockets.

-edit- I think the fuselage is basically the same for all of the models starting with the Hurri I.

The IID might have worse performance because it looks like it has the desert camo paint scheme and the enlarged airduct/dust filter contraption thingie under the nose that is absent in the screens of the IIC over at dogfighter.com and if memory serves I recall reading that the dust filters really made the performance suffer?

Hurricane IID had: different wing structure to support the 40mm cannon, additional armour around the engine, radiator and cockpit, plus the vast majority were used in North Africa so they also had the dust filter and survival gear.

It will be very slow(due to extra drag from 40mm guns and dust filter, and the extra weight of armour), doing only a little over 300mph at 18k.

Only 296 were made.

Yup the Volks filter hindered performance drastically and were fitted to both Hurricanes and Spitfires in the desert arena.  I think the Luftwaffe had a similar extended filter on their 109s too.
