Canada was not an active participant in the ESA Hermes effort/mess (and good for them!), and the unknown mockup has no indications like a raised cockpit or associated indicated/dummy windows of a crew compartment such as Hermes sported. Judging by the streamlined shape, rather than one merely optimized for aerodynamic reentry, I'd guess this is the powered orbiter of an HTHL rather than a VTHL system.
