The most important question however again for me is: Is it a production aircraft with a serial & H-number or still a prototype?

There seems to be a censor/smudge above the cockpit, which matches the position of bort numbers in other helos Z-20J, so a serial copter?

of all the platforms we saw today, Z20F was the most interesting development.

They must have a lot of new stuff testing out for it to have already taken this long

On the rear Z-20F a faint bort number may be discernible on the cowling? Also on rear aircraft light weight torpedo with black nose on the aft pylon?

is calling it Yu-12K (or AMB012 from Victory Parade).

Yes, that's a LWT in that position.

We've seen Z-20F carry mockups of them in flight before (able to carry two)

===

Seeing those two Z-20Fs on Fujian is arguably more interesting than the other things shown on the commissioning ceremony.

Agree - Z-20F prototype seen previously carrying two lightweight torpedoes.

At long last... hopefully we finally start seeing some more live units on other vessels soon.

It is basically two generational jump in ASW done by helos.
