I actually thought that the AN/AAQ-13 navigation pod has been withdrawn from service and that the AN/AAQ-14 TGP has been replaced by the Sniper and Litening TGPs, but now I stumbled across the images of Lakenhearth Eagles carrying two pods. I'm not sure what pods these are, but they are definitely not the newer ones. Maybe Tiger Eye being adopted by the USAFE?

There are two configs in those photos. It looks like the guy in front has the typical AAQ-13/14 setup, while the guy in back has a AAQ-13/33 (Sniper XR) setup (note the wedge-shaped nose and bottom-mounted air intake).
Digging around, I found another similar combo, this time with the addition of a ASQ-236 radar pod in the centerline spot.
