Pakenham was either fitted with four 4--inch guns and two banks of torpedo tubes, or with five 4-inch guns and one bank of torpedo tubes. The Wikipedia article on the Battle of the Cigno Convoy suggests that she had two banks of tubes, in which case she must have been fitted with four guns.

Photographs of various O & P class destroyers taken from 1943 onwards appear to show several class members (including Petard, Opportune and Porcupine) with four single 4-inch guns and two banks of tubes.
