Probably not, as the forward RWR antennae are buttons on either side of the
nose, above the gun muzzle. This must be something fairly recent, as it
only seems to appear in photos of grey A-10s.


Well, that's over 10 years, right? Weren't they re-painted as a result
of experience in Desert Storm?

There was a feeling that the A-10s were painted olive drab because the
Air Force was piqued at being forced to acquire an aircraft that did
Army work. Any truth to that?
