If you recall,
These nozzle looks similar to the nozzle of exhibit at the Aviation museum along side that AL-31. They look a bit longer and have silvery color compared the Zhuhai 2008 exhibit which seem shorter and dark-grayish...

It does look different, but I have given up trying to figure out why there appears to be two WS10's

I think he meant two different variants of j-11, could it be one is the WS-10 the other WS-10a?
That doesn't sound like a very good idea. The WS-10a is proven to be more reliable than the WS-10 and ultimately neither are as mature as the AL-31. I've heard of J-11s flying with one WS-10a and one AL-31 but flying with one WS-10A and one WS-10 ...?

That was a few years back when the WS-10(A) was first flew on the J-11 testbed. You may be able to find the picture of it somewhere in this thread.
I thought WS-10A was an improved version of WS-10.

Not sure that was WS-10 or WS-10A. That's why I put it as WS-10(A). Do we have any more new pictures of the J-11s flying the WS-10A?
