Default Name that rocket

I'm almost certain this was a kit or possibly a plan, and I think it was Centuri ( it came with a Centuri Magnum D12-0 stuck in it's rear) but I can't find it anywhere. It's a little hard to see, but note the dowel hanging off of the rear.
It may have been in one of the Centuri newspaper-type catalogues. Anyone?

I don't recognize this as a Centuri kit from any era, either very early stuff or anything towards the end of their run. Likely a home brew design of some sort. The dowel out the back is definitely unique.....maybe something to help prevent landing damage to those swept fins?

The top half is definitely from a Mars Snooper II. Bottom half may be what's left of the Snooper modified after a crash modified into something new.
