Nope, that would be a rather retrograde as that would mean the main array has to stop to provide illumination. It's more possible for those 4 white strips to be the datalink channel for the missile. Similar system as Type 052C family.

It makes sense, but just as a note - small arays under the main S volume search match shape and size of 054a illuminator/targeting X arrays.
And while that can also be a L FoF array (which is, again, sensible) - concurrent PLAN ones match with 4 fixed planks underneath...
