Chinese UCAV/CCA/flying wing drones (ISR, A2A, A2G)

Excerpts from an academic paper, depicting a flying-wing U(C)AV that features a slight beak nose and an IWB.
The U(C)AV has a length of 2.4 meters and a wingspan of 4.8 meters. The IWB is 0.82 meters long, 0.3 meters wide and 0.3 meters deep.
The IWB is depicted to be carrying 6 missiles. The missiles are separated 0.015 meters horizontally and 0.02 meters vertically.
Wondering if this is a scaled-down simulation model of the GJ-X? Or some other unknown U(C)AV model?

I'm more interested in the potential for the depiction/stacking missiles vertically to better use weapons bay volume.
Good observation. Compared to the IWB specifications of other platforms we've been discussing I would agree on it being a scale-down.. Any idea what purpose it would serve in doing so?
