My initial guess that it was the drone mount on the M-21 stands corrected by JSF-TC's interesting insight. Oxcart Project Pilot Frank Murray touches on the drone concept briefly in this excellent talk on his involvement with the A-12, in which he also disparagingly refers to the SR-71 at the "family model" of the Blackbird variants.

If the link below doesn't work, search Youtube for "The Oxcart Story - Frank Murray".
