Are the rectangular outlets in the trailing edge jet exhausts? Seem like very tiny engines in that case. Does anybody have an idea what thrust these engines would have?

The MX-324 had rocket propulsion - one Aerojet XCALR-200, 900 N / 200 lbf thrust. Small motor, small exhaust. That would be the round one. Don't know about the other two rectangular ones.
