Default Short nose Cobra

A question to our English cousins…..what is a “short nose Cobra”?
I’ve seen the “short nose” description in advertisements a few times over the years, applied sometimes to AC Mk IV / Autocraft versions.
What is different about a "short nose" Cobra, if anything, from the Mk III (427) body?

Here’s one;
1986 AC Cobra MKIV 'Short Nose' — Brooklands Cars Ltd


Changing direction only slightly, I also found this information about the “AC Cobra Mk VI”, which looks quite similar to what one of our guys from our SA Cobra Club is achieving with his Pace Alumina Cobra

Begs the question….what is/was the Mk V? Was this the Maltese Cobra? Were any actually made?


Cheers!
