No, one of the PL12 designers said during an interview at Zhuhai that the standard PL12 has a secondary passive homing operating mode.Yes, they have an anti-radiation missile based on PL-12, called LD-10 (export designation). A similar approach using PL-15 missile base design for a new anti-radiation is a logical move.

I am struggling to find the link now as it was maybe a decade ago, but this secondary capability is definitely real as I was told of it by a trusted personal friend and accidentally let it slip so was very glad that interview came out not long after to officially put it in the public domain.
