Here are a few photos of Chang'E 2 meeting its launch vehicle in Xichang, which I got from this lovely slide show. It's a beautiful view of the spacecraft. I don't see any obvious lump or bump that could be a probe or impactor mounted on it -- but there is one face of the cube-shaped spacecraft (apart from its base, which is attached to the launch rocket) -- that is not shown in the photos. Maybe it's attached over there.
