Not sure if this is verified but anyone have thoughts?I don't know for sure, but that looks like the travel plate that covers the rear of the launcher when it is not going to be used for a while. It attaches to the two sides of the launcher, not the launch box itself. If I am correct, it says nothing about what loadout the launcher is carrying (if any). Again, not absolutely positive.

The shadow behind that plate though doesn't look like a 6 pack of MLRS rockets. Could be ATACMS or could be an empty. I haven't seen this on other OSINT accounts but intriguing for sure.
