An update from Hudong shipyard. I wonder what the cutouts on either side of the rear superstructure (containing the hangar) are for. Target illuminators perhaps? @Tam

Shanghai Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding Corp. announced that a new vessel would be launched in 11:40 to 12:40 August 25. This should be the Type 54A #40 vessel.

It may be the one in the first pic you posted above.

And #39 was launched from Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard in August 11.
