Nice shots. Can anybody advise what that is directly aft the front landing gear, and under the side window?  I'm thinking some sort of sensors/counter measures?

I am thinking it is the Northrop Grumman AN/AAQ-24 (V) DIRCM (Directional Infrared Countermeasures) unit that is mounted just aft of the window. That unit near the nose gear might possibly be a chaff dispenser.

Wombat is correct, pilot told me they were "new electronic countermeasure suite" part of an upgrade.
