They look very similar to the data link pod associated with the AGM-62
Walleye / AGM-84E SLAM, though I can't think of any reason to carry two
of those pods without any of the weapons. AFAIK the pods used for
luggage are 'fatter'.

A very nice photo, indeed, but could anyone point out what are the pods
attached to the outboard wing stations?
I would guess these are so-called "personal pods" used for ferry
flights, but as far as I remember they should be a bit larger (more
similar in size to an external fuel tank). It may also look like a
7-shot FFAR or 4-shot Zuni launchers, But the caps should be removed
for flight, shouldn't they?
Kind regards,
