The Y-20 in the background (serial #11251) has its nosecone open, and we can catch a glimpse of what I think is its nose radar (the rectangular shape)

Quick question on the tanker: does the Y-20U do away with the rear ramp altogether to make way for the centerline refueling hose? I don't recall seeing a Y-20U on the ground with its ramp down.
So far it seems that the center refueling module replaces the ramp, so you are right there is no rear ramp on the Y-20U, but it's supposedly modular so that they can swap it back relatively easily.
