Look like CRV-7 rocket pods to me.... but that wouldn't be the american designation for them... they'd probably use a LAU designation.

Are all the items marked at the pictures are the same ?
It seems that the weapon on the last picture is a bit different (it doesn't have the round shaped "nose").

| Not sure what the designation is, but they are seven-shot rocket pods. Some of them have the aerodynamic nose cover and some don't. |

| Yep those are LAU-131's. The covers were installed for the long flights from Qatar to Iraq to reduce the drag. The covers are not used for local sorties as the drag is not as important for a short sortie. The covers shatter once the first rocket is fired. |
