Hate to ask a real question in a dead party thread but is that the CATS payload attached to dragon?
Looks like it to me.
What in the picture are you asking about? The 3 spindle device on the inside of the hatch is the grapple fixture.

Since it is now post splashdown, wouldn't they be very wet CATS?
If you're happy and you know it,

DUH!  My confusion came from thinking the adapter WAS the CATS instrument. I can see from the NASA website that The BOX is the instrument, not the round thing! Thanks for the clarification.

In this case, the CATS didn't come back the very next day. Good for it.  8)
