Are the turboprops fore-and-aft on those wing pods, or were there props in the noses of the fuselages?

...may be a model of a proposed "parasite" cruise missile that would have been carried by a proposed Convair Nuclear bomber. It has no identifying marks but has an attachment on the top to fit on to a larger mother model. It measures about 6" in length and is of metal construction and is in excellent condition.
