Valom has a new boxing of the Sparrow that comes with extra fuselage windows. Is this the ambulance version?

Maybe. I presume you're referring to Valom's upcoming 271 Squadron example.

http://www.historyofwar.org/air/units/RAF/271_wwII.html

This from my link: "the Harrows remained until May 1945, serving as air ambulances, but were phased out after seven were destroyed during Operation Bodenplatte, the last major Luftwaffe offensive in the west".

Also, referring to Overlord, "while soon after the landings the Harrows began to fly casualties back to the UK". Hence the invasion stripes shown in Valom's box art.
