What visual element in that image proves it's a PLAAF's plane? Is there a chance it could be a PLANAF's plane? One would imagine that the outermost pylons on naval H6J are optional, and can be removed, if the mission doesn't call for jammer pods.

Indeed that could be an explanation but otherwise I think this is a PLAAF emblem and not from the PLAN?!
Arent those badges very similar? The only real distinguishing feature would be the fact PLAAF has the lower half of the background in pure blue color while the PLANAF has blue stripes, with white stripes in between. At such poor resolution that we have - the image might be depicting either.
Thanks， Deino！
