The video shows TD1, I may be wrong. But I saw the video long time ago. So I can tell the yellow nosed plane is the older TD-1. And the white nosed is the newer prototype.

Not only the color scheme, but the missing IR sensors that were integrated in the 2nd prototype should be a more obvious part to distinguish.

The left is an older Flanker cockpit, the right the new T50 prototype, I guess this is a comparison of the IRST and it seems the new one is surprisingly smaller.
