Original Note:
There’s no A340 tanker. Only the 2 engine version exists: A330 MRTT. Inward moment of the contrails is due to wake vortices induced by the lift of the wing. https://safetyfirst.airbus.com/wake-vortices/ The « central contrail » is an aerodynamic contrail, created by the drop in press & temp above the wing due to lift. https://elib.dlr.de/58314/1/i1520-0469-66-2-227.pdf
