Really? But why was then reported almost everywhere that 2052 was the first true J-20A with WS-15?
again confusing..
wasn't 2052 the first true J-20A powered by WS-15 engines .. so right now only 2055 is powered by WS-15 ?
Typo. I meant 2051.
If I'm not mistaken, someone commented on the "two dots" before and it turned out to be discoloration from the ground ladder's pads. Wouldn't be surprising if the pads are made from a very soft material to prevent damage to the stealth coating, which would be more prone to leaving superficial marks.

As it seems, there is maybe now a third J-20S or J-20AS twin-seater with the serial number 2033.

Seems to be fake!
Fun fact, Deino is consider "good" compare to others namely "the Italian guy".
Italian guy is still miles ahead of David Axe, who is miles ahead of Alex Lockie, who in turn is miles ahead of the average defense blogger.
Even if real, You can rightfully dismissed this as insignificant. But to the Chinese fans, it's a sight to behold. Sought of
加油! 加油! Or maybe I misunderstood your post.

Does anyone notice if J-20A prototypes 2052 and 2055 have larger nacelles than the current production J-20? Wonder if the WS-15 is a drop-in fit for the existing J-20 fleet as well.
