You have sharp eyes.
When we put the aircraft back into production in 2008 (production had ceased in 1988), we replaced many non-structural parts that had previously been made of aluminum with identically shaped parts made out of composites.
That little wing root to fuselage fairing was one of the parts that was modernized. The photo was taken during a break in flight testing - engineering staff had removed the original aluminum part and were in the process of fitting the new composite part.
