There's no yellow around the nose to indicate that it's HE...Has the bomb lugs like it's to be mounted on a MER or TER or parent rack...Will have to do some research on it.

Might be a personel pod, for the pilot to put his tennis racket in. The fins are to reduce buffeting in flight. I agree, not HE as no yellow stripe. It might also be an electronics pos such as a laser designator.

My last job required the handling of energetic material with no hazard pay. I didn't care for that part of the job, but I am grateful because it did pay well and let to my current job.

One of my best friends half brother was, Cheif Petty officer, Gerald Wyatte Farrier. He was killed on the Forrestal. Things like that are a real study in safety. He is buried a couple miles down the road from here in Kyler Cemetery.
He knew the danger and that is what made his act so heroic.
There is no heroism in blunders. Even though it is sad, how many lose their lives by just not thinking about what they are doing.

One of my duties in a former job was to safety train forklift operators.
I would show an OLD hyster movie in which two guys in the warehouse got in a race. Anyway, one of them let up too late and slammed on the brakes just as he reached the dock.
Well then they show the floor which is wet.
Then they show the drivers face which is in a panic as he is sliding through the warehouse toward the dock at high speed.
Then they pan back and you see the forklift launch off the end of the dock and plunge 400' into Hudson Bay.
It really caught ones attention!
But here's the zinger:
There was a footnote in the training manual:
When they sent divers down to retrieve the forklift, they found 3 more in the same spot!!!

The fact is most everyone learns to accomplish a task and soon these actions become some what automatic. You must stay focused in order to oversee your actions. This is why it is critical to learn to perform dangerous task correctly emphasizing on the key decision or judgment points. Training and discipline will keep you out of harms way.
