It is 100% a glide slope antenna.

A guess but prior to gear down they probably use one in the Radome, and switch to this one for more precise tracking during Automatic Landing gear down.

The 747 does something similar if I recall, 'capture antenna' under the Radome and 'Track' Antenna, again if I recall, leading edge of the undercarriage doors, not quite so visible !
