FOUND PART ? Gauntlet missile

I know this is an old post, but has anyone looked at the Airfix/MPC 1/24 scale Harrier? That kit was used to build the AT-AT and other items, stands to reason the rocket pod from that kit might have been used to build Boba's gauntlet rocket as well.
 
The shapes are just too far off to be a model part, plus we have seen CAD drawings where they are designing the rocket to be machined.

BTW, I want to retouch on those who were thinking they were not seeing the red in my previous photo. Here are some new photos. I don't think you can deny the red... now the question is, is that just paint on top, or is that the base color of the piece. Given the wear on the back edge, I feel like it means the base part is red.

I don't see a red color, but an orange base without all the weathering and without a gloss varnish all over it? PM sent anyway.
 
Yeh Art the air force assures me Im not color blind and I agree orange under the copper color with more **** over that depending on the gauntlet some have more junk than others
 
Holy thread revival!
A lot of searching and research went into this thread a few years back. While the missile pod has a similar shape, it doesnt have the 3 rows of holes like the gauntlet missile. Also, in my talks with RKD, I believe he said there was paperwork recovered/ found commissioning a machined metal missile.
