Good skills, Skytrain!
Yes, this is part of an aircraft (one that only concerns itself with the troposphere!).
Looking at
Mmmm, not sure quite how to answer that... 
Mmmm, not quite sure what I think about that, either, in this context!

This should help:
I didn't get to know the aircraft well enough to find out the purpose of the fairing; thinking about it, it probably carries the harness for the propeller deicing. There's one on each engine in the one o'clock position (viewed from the rear).
