It is the rear of a fin less external fuel tank. Looks like the MiG-21 was equipped with a centre line fuel tank.
See from 4:34 in the following video and see the fin less fuel tank with the nipple on the end. You can also see it briefly at the beginning.
See it being loaded onto the truck in the following video at 1:22
