Point is that Aerial smoke generators tend to be the same as chemical gas dispenser. These tend to look the same. The RAF example looking very similar to the Soviet variant, I didn't check up on Luftwaffe chemical gas dispensers.

Franek pointed to a photographic example in 2nd TAF.

These dispensers do not look much larger than 250kg-500kg bombs, the mistery unit looks very different in design.

Also the joint between the ETC and arm looks very much like a movable joint - movable in flight?

Personally I am starting to be VERY sceptical that this thing has anything to do with smoke laying...
