The Vulcan was used as a testbed for a number of engines and intake
configurations.
I don't know which engine was being tested in the picture (presumably for an
aircraft with side intakes), but amongst the engines tested were the
Concorde's Olympus (reheated versions of the Vulcan's Olympus), the Pegasus
engine (of Harrier fame) and the Tornado engines (RB199).

I think that's actually a B.1a with a slightly kinked wing (on both
sides),
the B.2 has a much more pronounced shape.

It looks like it's testing a pair of engines, or air-sampling gear of some
kind.
