@Aeronaut @Stealth, There you go comrades, under the circumstances, this is the best i could get.

Windjammer, if you look at the small fins/wings at the end of the fueltank you can see that the block52+ has indeed the bigger fueltanks!

What I did find out is that we should not believe everything that is printed. It was said that CFT would only be used for real long missions. We have seen pretty much everywhere (and same goes for PAF) that CFT will stay on all the time. They have that rather then wing fueltanks.

Yes and it seems to appear in a two tone grey/white scheme. ?
Even Alan Warnes once told me that due to extra drag, PAF would only use CFTs on special missions.
Must say compared to the drop tanks, the electronic pod appears of some size.

But with CFTs F-16 looks pretty cool.

May 15, 2014
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co., Fort Worth, Texas, has been awarded a $7,253,896 modification (P00068) to FA8615-07-C-6032 for F-16 production contracts. The total cumulative face value of the contract is $430,377,045. This modification incorporates a solution to solve a radar interoperability issue affecting F-16 aircraft produced for Pakistan and Thailand under the basic contract. Work will be performed at Fort Worth, Texas, and is expected to be completed by April 30, 2016. The contract supports 100 percent foreign military sales for Thailand and Pakistan. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity

Pakistani sources said five aircraft arrived and were deployed by the Pakistan Air Force on April 27.
“This new fighter would increase the capacity of the Air Force,” Pakistan Air Force commander Marshal Tahir Rafique Butt said.
This marked the first delivery of F-16s by Jordan. Over the last 15 years, Jordan has developed an F-16 fleet of more than 60 aircraft, all of them surplus from NATO air forces.
Diplomatic sources said the United States, blocked by Congress, has urged other F-16 operators to export the aircraft to Pakistan. They said potential suppliers included Egypt, Jordan and Turkey.
In his address, Butt said Pakistan was forced to purchase surplus F-16s
because of budget difficulties. He said the fighters, housed at the Air
Force base in Sargodha, were in good condition.

So there are chances for egyptian and Turkish F-16s too. what about norwegian F-16s Sir.?
I think 100-120 F-16 are very possible now.
