That's actually the oldest surviving Harrier, and is one of the pre-production aircraft. It was used as a test bed for varying things, which is why it has the Gr.3 nose on it. At one point it was apparently used as a ground instructional airframe for the RN, hence the markings.
Nobody seems to know what those wooden bits in the side of the fuselage are though.
