Found this picture this afternoon that explains the bow tie symbols. Makes a lot of sense.

I'm not sure how exactly it works, but it is for filming the ordnance leaving the a/c. The test plane itself has several cameras mounted on various locations pointing toward the ordnance being tested. My guess it's to determine angles and that sort of thing. Here's a shot of a VX-23 a/c testing...
