FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THOSE DARN THINGS ON THEIR BACKS ARE

Form fitting fuel tanks! (Or whatever their real names are)

Same things form fitting fuel tanks, all of em. They used to have em attached to wing mounts but they didn't give any significant advantage over the normal tanks so they strapped em to the body instead.
