Are these 2 different UAVs? because the rear landing gear looks different. The top one looks like J-20 style, while the bottom one has F/A-18 style.

The HD-1 supersonic cruise missile. Due to its small size and weight, HD-1 can be launched from small surface ships and light fighters such as the JF-17. The HD-1 is capable of sea skimming at 5-10 meters, which coupled with its high speed, makes it difficult to intercept by ship-based air defense systems. Moreover, the missile has good air defense suppression capabilities, since it can be launched well outside enemy air defense zones. When launched at high altitudes, the HD-1 can cover a distance of more than 300km.

If you mean the Type 054B, I would expect its rotary phase array to be much bigger and has two sides. Furthermore I think there might be two, a bigger one on the S-band, and a smaller one working on the C or X-band. The larger one is primarily search radar, but have modes to support for weapons. The second one is for searching near the water surface for sea skimmers and has modes to queue defensive weapons.
