1513 seem to have grey nose and I can't spot pitot tube. Could be J15's "equivalent" of J11BG with new radar upgrade. also would be interesting to see if it has WS-10 engine like #557 prototype.

I think it is save to say it is a regular J-15B like the known prototype no. 1511 with the J-11D‘s canted radome.

… and for the engines I see AL-31F exhausts.

We already can confirm 1513 has the catapult launch bar from the clearer quality images in post 4542 above confirming it is J-15B, and even with the poorer quality images where the catapult launch bar is not easily visible we can still tell that the front landing gear door is two piece in a manner that is consistent with J-15B.

In other words, there is no reason to entertain the idea that it is a "BG" equivalent upgrade for the standard J-15.

It's just the CATOBAR compatible J-15B that we all know has been in testing.

And also interesting ... 中国 = ‘zhong guo’ = China 航母 = ‘hang mu’ = aircraft carrier !

As you wrote on twitter, it is the patch on the top seemingly depicting a flat deck carrier (i.e. CV-18) which is more interesting, or at least of some note.
