Only time will tell, but after the event, I doubt it ... if they do, China could send 3 groups circling Aussie coast
055 DDG #107 Zunyi has sailed more than 12000 nautical miles during her "Round-The-Australia" tour for the past 1+ months. Posted by @拓跋尊 on Weibo.
This will be cross-posted with the 052C/052D Class Destroyers thread.
The photo was likely taken at the same time as the most recent overflying photo of Fujian at Jiangnan with the KJ-600 and what-looks-to-be C-2 counterpart on the flight deck.
Seen are the hull modules which belongs to 4x DDGs:
#1 - The 2nd unit of the 2nd batch 055 DDGs built at Jiangnan (seems like the construction and assembly is taking quite a long while)
#2 - A bow section, likely belongs to a new 052DG DDG
#3 - A bow section and a mid-section, both likely belong to a new 055 DDG
#4 - A bow section, likely belongs to a new 052DG DDG

Has there been any reliable information about what the protruding panels on sides of the superstructures under the bridge wings, and just in front of helicopter hangar are?

The last two photos are quite unique. Seems like you rarely see night photos like this in the PLAN.Underway replenishment day and night.

Clear satellite images of 055s at Dalian (1st image) and Jiangnan (2nd image) shipyards, showing hull 11 through 14(?).
A more complete version of the image, showing three 055s under construction or being fitted out.
