I seem to remember reading that the RAPTOR pod won't fit on the centreline station due to clearance issues (u/c doors and/or ground, I forget now...) and can't be hung under wing because of asymmetric load conditions. I believe at one time there was talk of developing a pod specifically for Typhoon, but this seems to have come to nought...
