I think you're wrong. When they peel off the do so from one end or the other. The Missing Man involves all four planes, with number three breaking up and out just before reaching the designated point. That picture looks like a Missing Man right at the breakout point.
Unless you were referring to the second picture with the Harriers, in which case I think you're right. His question was posted with the first picture, though.
