Ok, Having read and taken in the various comments I have altered all of the battleship drawings so that it is more obvious that there is another strake of armour above the 13" belt. I have also changed around the superstructure of the 1939 rebuild of the Majestic, as per Hoods comments. The rebuild still uses KGV parts, but it is one of the other superstructure types that I drew up for the never-were KGV drawings.
I have not changed the CV version, as the casemates, while outdated to later designs, are still completely workable once they have been raised that extra deck. Their fore and aft firing arcs are good enough. They only last on the ships about 5 years before being removed in the early 1930's. The 13/9" belt is removed at time of conversion and replaced with a 4.5" belt.
