So we have some sort of compromise on model.

On your picture, the light exposition is bad, probably there were some clouds above in the sky. It seems that the ship has not been painted in grey yet, you can still see the difference between the black hull and the white superstructures. In fact, it seems that the superstructures have been painted grey, but not the hull yet...
And there aren't any additional liferafts yet, which means that the ship has not been fitted for war purposes yet (troopship).
By the way, the ship had also some anti-aicraft guns platforms which I didn't see on your ship.
