I'm fairly familiar with the design of US rocket pods, which is the main reason why I think the F-86 photo shows the banana-shaped F-86 drop tank. The tank is slightly foreshortened, but the up-swept tail fairing is still recognizable. The nose and tail caps that I have seen on 2.75-in rocket pods have all been symmetrical, with no up-swept tail cone.Also, it seems odd that the F-86 would be carrying both an "MA-3" pod for 7x2.75-in FFAR rockets and a pair of 2.25-in SCAR training rockets on a single training sortie.
