Isn't there is a piece of the leading edge flap visible & retracted.
First look at Kulverstukas' pictures of the wing here:

and look to the left of the large hole in the leading edge. The airfoil profile seems to be complete there.
Next, look at this TU-154 picture to see the leading edge flap configuration.
(Note: It is a realllly big image, so I am just linking it)
