Ayub Khan torso is of general height his legs seems to be extra long.
Nur Khan is of normal height as per PAF standard, else he had some cockpit seating issues.

Some interesting stuff from WikiLeaks.
In the late 1970s, the PAF had asked the US if it could acquire either the F-16 or the F/A-18.
Imagine if the PAF had gotten F/A-18s... Would we have called the JF-17 the JF-19? And would it have been the twin-engine fighter everyone's dreaming of?
In seriousness, this is just another reminder that the PAF had been seeking a strike-capable fighter for a very long time, but it just never happened. I don't think the PAF conceived AZM as a crackpot idea, but rather, as a last-ditch effort to solve a long-standing problem once and for all.

100 A7s were offered to Pakistan in lieu of abandonment of nuclear programme but the offer was rejected. A single A7 in PAF livery was readied for the contract signing, USA was that confident but it never happened.Some interesting stuff from WikiLeaks.
