Harrier idea developed alongside the P.1154 and they were meant to compliment each other and the Kestrel was very much finished by the time the P.1154 was in development
As i said one of the early harrier airframes was used for PCB and BS.100 testing, just after the cancellation the RAF put full focus onto the harriers
What is that abomination of landing gear?
Same as a normal harrier…
The Harrier PCB is legit a pegasus with a afterburner, hell the thing still exists…

SAAB Gripen C (SAAF)
There’s a few like Tornado F.3 CSP/AOP that are possible but aren’t especially great.
