It looks similar to the practice CVR7 rocket pod. This has around four rockets rather than the 18 or so. Just a cost thing to let pilots practice with the real thing without using the real thing

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
