What's this practice bomb rack called?

I'm currently researching F-84F weapons, mainly in Dutch air force service (RNLAF). One item that puzzled me quite badly is this  practice bomb rack. I found only reference to it, and there it's called a R-3. I *think* that this simple design evolved somewhat later, for use on the German and possibly Belgian air forces, with an aerodynamic fairing at the front, and possibly a stepped carriage for the front and rear bombs. But that's about all I found. Anyone?? Thanks in advance!

I found a similar pic of a german G.91.
There is written about a Mk 25 practice bomb rack with Mk 76 practise bombs.

Thanks for the reply and the useful information! Using this designation I even found a resin 1/32 kit of it, by VideoAviation:
