A bigger version.

Is it the same paint pattern for jets within the same squadron?

As it seems, we likely have another J-20 unit confirmed, namely the 43rd Air Brigade based at Datong-Huairen, a former J-10A unit.
And even if the unit itself isn't mentioned, the unit nicknamed "雁门天虎" (Yanmen Tianhu) is the 43rd Air Brigade!

Would be interesting to know if these are J-20A - and as such the first confirmed frontline unit flying this latest variant - or still J-20?

I don't see how this confirms they have switched to J-20? Guancha specifically mentioned once this unit is unlikely to get anything good in the near future.

I agree, but this could be a hint (even if it looks a lot like a mock-up only)?!
