The Yugoslavian IKARUS 452. Your turn.
Here is a nice easy one:-
First thought was that "thingy" at 6 o'clock was the front end of an arrester hook, say the Dassault Etendard, but I don't think it should be so close to the exhaust lip?
Second thought is the thingy is the break parachute fairing on possibly, the Repuplic Thunderstreak?
Question 1. Trying to education myself on anal aviation - if the tail-pipe doesn't have, as cutaways call them, a variable exhaust nozzle, then can I assume it doesn't have an afterburner?
Question 2. What gets more success when googling for these images...tail pipe, jet pipe, exhaust, jet exhaust, engine exhaust, exhaust nozzle,...etc...? I'm not having a whole lot of luck.

Sorry chaps did not think it would be difficult, I thought it would be easy like the latest Avia Quiz 
.
To answer your questions:-
Q.1 It does not have an afterburner.
Q.2 Possibly engine exhaust but it really depends as the quiz image may be taken from a general view of the aircraft during a walk around.
It is not a tail mounted jet such as the Piper PA-47 Piperjet.
This might help:-
