I recognize im not an expert on nozzles, but make a zoom and the nozzles look identical in the inside. Even the petals seem similar

At the very least, they are identical in size.

I have zoomed in, and all you can see is the most vague of outlines to the turbine axle, that is something every military turbofan have, to conclude that two engines are identical based on the fact that they both have that common part is simply unreasonable.

On CD, there's a compiled video, which also refers to various things such as the engines, the weapons bays, the length of the airframe... I can't post the link! But if you go there, it'd be easy to spot.

That's a very strange shape for the side weapon bay panel. It appears to curve in (as the body curves in around the intakes).

Almost 100% sure this is the shape of the door. And the part you see as the curved front is actually a component in opening and closing it.

I think this because in this image, you can clearly see side bay panel, and it looks like it stops just short of the curve around the intake.

The only thing I can't make out is whether the front part is arrow shaped, or simply serrated.

I think you are right. That piece seems to extend into the weapon bay. Thank you for the enlarged picture.

However, I think the bay/door has multiple zigzags, not the single as you pictured.

Yeah, I can't really see if its arrow shaped like that model in post #322, or serrated, so I just left it rough. :( . Like you, I'm also leaning towards serrated when I look at the larger image.

EDIT:

Lol, the more I look at the model in #322, the more I realize it's way off.

Looks like a single square tooth at the front edge of the sidebay door. The hinge seems to have bending to smoothen airflow.

Looking at the design of the side bay it looks like they pylon to launch is part of the door. I could be wrong but it does look something handy to spare mechanism.
