I think the photo is from 2011, no Gripens participating this year.

The stub wings and wing roots are modified . Wing roots look bulged.

Earlier model.

Here is the pic of the same model with the refined gun pod. With wings having been strengthened to carry heavier payloads, the successful weight reduction measures seem to be paying dividends since the aforementioned modifications would only have been undertaken once it was realized that the LCH could indeed carry heavier payloads. Expect TD-3 to be modified even further. Some people in the know are claiming that final variants might even be blessed with an exhaust shroud. It will be interesting to see what self-protection systems are employed for the LCH, perhaps it will be the same suite which has been employed on the Rudra?
