It looks like an armlike structure, the piece attached to the ETC looks like a joint, almost looking like a test version of the feeler arm used on the Bv 143.

IMHO such a test setup seems more logical than a fixed launching device which on top is placed at an angle of the flight path.

The Bf 109T was still a small single engine fighter, probably ideally suited to test technology that was aimed at a naval cruise missile/glide bomb.

Actually unless I see a better explanation, I think I like my guess best
