Yes the luggage carriers were old napalm:

Is Canada going to adopt the AIM-9X or just stick with the earlier variants?

Its been on the books for awhile to occur, I thought they had let the contract earlier this year, but my memory is failing me.

thanks for all the pictures and information, it looks that if I am making the CF-18 in an anniversary scheme the only realistic store is the 'luggage carrier' on a centreline pylon. I just need to source a 1/48 napalm canister now but hopefully I'd not have to get a huge set but get an individual canister?

If you can't find an aftermarket one then you can use the one that comes in the Hasegawa Weapon Set A, if you have it. Just cut off the nose off of one of them, cut off the tail of the other, join them together then scrib in some details and add a strip on the bottom.

don't have the set I'm afraid, there are aftermarket items out there like this

but pretty costly, may have to bite the bullet and order one though
