Steve,
Hope this info can help a little.

Two pylons could be fitted under each wing, to carry missiles, bombs, or even more fuel --- the ferry tanks contained 2400 imp gallons, 10920 liter.

Load external 2722kg

Different source has this info.
ARMAMENT:
Internal bay for 1-2 nuclear bombs,
6x 1000 lb (454 kg) bombs or long range tank;
four wing pylons for up to 6,000 lb (2722 kg)
of bombs, four AS.30 missiles, nuclear bombs,
rocket pods or tanks.

and another source.
It could be fitted with four underwing pylons to carry a total external load of 1,815 kilograms (4,000 pounds).
