Is it a Photoshop or nose of J-20 really changed?

This picture in particular seems to be a fake - As you can see, the radome is in a kind of strange light green and the pitot is disappeared, for these two points I think it is a fake.

But, spottors have taken some other real pictures, and the nose radome had really changed...

comparing previous J-20 nose and this new nose, was this possible to change nose on exisiting airframe? :/ this is what confusing me if aircraft was 2003, i would have assumed they made the structure this way. But changing nose on existing structure if you think how previous nose was sharply made?

2001 is still in CFTE.

These new pictures and video show a 2002 with radome changed, probably with an ESA radar (AESA or PESA??) installed.

2003 has not been seen yet.

Has anyone noticed that the rear landing gear has been raised. 2002 has higher ground clearance, and the the "lean back" rear landing gear has been extended, is it just me ?
