I just tried to find a few similar shots of the other J-20 prototypes ... and quite interesting, '2016' is again more similar to the early birds '2001' & '2002" than to the last four. Biggest change IMO is however that the engine itself seems to be positioned deeper into the airframe ... or that serrated ring is longer !

The old silver nozzled engine used by the prototype 2011.

And the new engine on both 2011 and 2016.

Nice ... indeed it seems as if that "new" type of engine - or at least '2016's configuration - was already tested before ...

By the way '2016' was already out at CAC in June !

Beginning this year，practical verification will be carried out on a new thrust-vectoring engine intended for the J-20：

Not really a 100%-knowing ... but an assumption based on the fact the all other prototypes have long left Chengdu and at least from what I know, no prototype came back during July.

The rumor is the WS-15.
