audiohavoc - you are 50% correct.
The heading "bug" is called the cement block, because it kinda looks like a cement block. :-?
It's the double box around the compass rose at around 090 degrees in the picture.
The block is attached to the dashed heading select indication.
The "noodle" is not the magenta line. It is the trend line while in a turn.
It's the white segmented line at the nose of the plane.
It can be one, two or three (as in this picture) segments long and as you bank and turn.
The number of segments is controlled by the range you select on the MCP.
The "noodle" bends left or right to show the projection of the turn.
