I have to agree with Ernie Davis about the C. The biggest visual difference (except the rotor), was the size and aerodynamaic curve in the vertical stabilizer. I had the privilege of flying a "B 540" test bed during my tour in 1966-67 with C Trp 1/9 Cav. We flew the B/540 for about 5 months until the new C's came into country.

And in answer to the question about differences in the D & H is that there is no readily visual difference, its like a street car (The differenc is under the hood).

To tell the truth I had over a 1000 hrs in the "C" and don't remember the total gallonage. I only remembered the lbs of fuel and flight time. Since we were always over gross we never took on a full load of fuel.

Are there any visible difference's between the UH-1D and 1H models? Or is it all internal in the horspower and such?

THIS IS NOT A C MODEL! it is a B Model. Get it correct if you are going to tell people about it. I flew in B, C D and H models.

Are you sure all of those in photos are "C" models?

the "C"s I flew had the pitot tube on top of cabin, had the fuel intake on the left and had the 540 rotor system.
