I'm looking for any of the experts out there that might be able to help me with a typical loadout for A-10C's out of Bagram late in OEF (2014ish).  I'm having a hard time pinning down times from various photographs I'm finding. 

I think I'm getting to something like this:

1. Empty

2. LAU-131 - it seems APKWS is fairly common now, but if I'm correct, this would have been post 2014 for OIR?

3. AGM-65L - this seems pretty consistent, although I've found some with a SNIPER pod.  From my readings, SNIPER on station 3 was earlier in OEF.

4. GBU-38 more commonly, sometimes GBU-12's

5. GBU-38

6. Empty - found one low res picture with what either looks like a Mk.82 or GBU-38 here.  Article referenced 2012.

7. GBU-38 - I've found photos with GBU-31, but the information I've been able to gather is these would have been OIR birds

8. GBU-38 more commonly, sometimes GBU-12's

9. SUU-25 flare pod

10. LIGHTENING TGP - I have one book for 2007 - 2014 that identifies time pretty well.  Most of the pictures at Kandahar earlier show the SNIPER, but the later ones from Bagram show the LIGHTENING pod.

11. Empty - when did the dual rail adapters stop being carried routinely?  Of what I can find for later OEF birds, AIM-9's and the DRA were uncommon, but then they show up again for OIR birds.

I'd appreciate any experts that can either confirm I'm on the right path, and/or note other common munitions.  While I am also an avid DCS Warthog pilot, this is for a scale model being built of a 75th EFS bird in 2014 at Bagram.  Hence the some what OCD detail attempt and effort to capture a static picture.
