What is this proboscis on the A-7D-78 CORSAIR II?

I'm assuming it's a laser rangefinder for Paveways. In the loading screen Paveways are available, but if you use them you don't get  an image in the cockpit. I fixed that by making a Pave-Spike copy and then fixing it just where the proboscis is, via the Data file. It works a treat so I'm going to be hugely embarassed if it isn't a laser rangefinder.

Then look, the F-4N Phantom II has a proboscis as well.

Same situation: loading screen has Paveways, but they don't work. Embed a pave-spike copy in the nose and it works. I got rid of the image file part, because it otherwise looks like a Narwhal.
