Until 1984 she had Seaslug aft and then the free space was converted to accommodation and classrooms. Maybe some of these were converted into the enlarged hangar?

The Chilean Counties converted with a hangar for 2 Naval Cougar, perhaps the same hangar can fit 2 Sea King.

I'd say its impossible to fit a Seaking into the existing hangar, the hangar only extends as far back as the roof slopes down to where the Type 901/Phalanx was and as far forward as to where the director/ 37mm platforms are (behind the vents on the starboard side shown here. There is perhaps a little room to spare. The internal idea won't work either unless you put a lift in and that uses the internal space you would need and you would need to loose the accommodation spaces on the deck above. See the plan below. The Chilean conversions used entirely new structure replacing the old side-entry hangar and Type 901 area for a much larger structure. I think the Pakistani claims were a bit of over-egging the pudding for foreign consumption.

From this shot it doesn't look like they changed the hanger at all. It does show what looks like a 40mm bofors mount on the quarterdeck though. I found this site there are some good videos on the too.

It's a good shot but it's from before 1988 where the rebuilt was ;) I'm sorry that I can't give more info's than Jane's. If Babur could have 3-4 Sea King's as said I don't know. But I have photo which confirm Sea King was used. That's the nearest I myself can come :(
