The nose pitot is usually for acquiring flight test data and calibration. Probably won't be on production aircraft.

Actually the nose boom on most first-flight aircraft will support vanes to measure yaw and pitch angles of attack, as well as a pitot tube for calibration of the production airspeed and altimeter system.
