Given the seriously badass nature of the engine, the study this was related to might not have been a fighter study, but an engine study. The exhaust setup looks a lot like a Marquardt supercharged ejector ramjet (SERJ); a number of notional ideas were tossed around for aircraft powered by these engines, this might be one.

I think this is a different project entirely.
To clear the thing - I am absolutely sure that on both pictures is the same plane, but I am not so sure, if it is really MDD and if it is really VFX proposal.

There is a nice copy of the picture from GRC available from NARA
