In the middle of this image you can see a practice bomb carrier sandwiched between the two SNEBs, which I believe, says Matra on the sign (since the squiggle looks the same as the nameboard of the Matra SNEB nearby).

Can anyone advise what it may be called or what it's official designation is? I want to try to find a drawing so I can model one.

I don't think it's MATRA, it looks like a US PMBR (Practice Multiple Bomb Rack) with Mk.37 bombs.

Boom! That is a great piece of reference material. You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Now I just need to find a drawing.

Should be able to wing it (sorry) from the photo?

Probably, but always worth a dig for a decent drawing first. I've been caught short before where I've made some assumptions and then found better info later on.

Brilliant! Looks much better than the old Hasegawa one.
