In case anyone is interested in guessing what this is the following clue should help:
analogous to a modification that was found (maybe still is) on some South African cars

I believe the modification was unique to South Africa.

Chris, You essentially got it.
No such dragon bug but Centipedes have these 'flame throwers' on the basal joint of the back legs. If they take a dislike to you they will shoot toxic sticky fluids at you. In both cases, cars and centipedes, they are predator deterrents.

Any further comments would negate the upcoming (next week) article in Micscape Magazine. All will be revealed thenChrisR wrote:The 3D quality of your image shows the directionality of those "ports" beautifully.
Does the material (chitin?) just happen to be the right transparency for that? That would be too lucky, surely.
