Allegedly taken near #4 dry dock... The red arrow points to a possible module (painted already).

Interesting if confirmed, but I'm surprised since it shows already the overhanging parts extending for the flight deck, which we haven't seen in previous images.

I have my doubts as well. It's possible this is the demonstration module seen in 2013. However, the same user also released another image (shared earlier) that was definitely current.
