Anyone know what "pods" they are carrying?

doing a little googling it seems that they are carring centerline ventral Vinten VICOM reconnaissance pod
Vinten VICOM Recce Pod Design & Specs

• • Camera Setup: Housed four high-speed 70mm Vinten cameras.
  • Angles: Configured with one forward-looking, two oblique (left and right), and one vertically downward-facing camera.
  • Usage: Dual oblique cameras excelled at low altitudes (200 to 500 feet); downward-facing options proved less effective at high speeds.
  • Integration: Linked with the aircraft's LN-3 navigation system to imprint location coordinates directly onto the film
