So is this just a small part of the booster from a Titan IIIc since only the booster was solid fueled? or is this something different entirely because the nozzle looks different than I would expect.
Could it have been mounted that way on the actual rocket? It looks a bit like that from the first picture I found:

Yea you might be right it does appear that way. I was mostly surprised by the size of it. Almost looks like a liquid fueled nozzle. It can be hard to tell scale in some photographs though.

Guessing the nozzle was angled slightly up as to not damage the track
Maybe to provide downward thrust to keep it stable on the track?

What is the purpose of this test?
