Clearly no probe on the left unit

I would say even if the probe itself is barely visible, the bulge of the attachment point is visible ...

It is highly pixelated... So hard to ascertain..
But if you zoom in enough you can see brighter pixels in front of the left cockpit window(left unit).
The entire right unit is illuminated better than left one ( notice colour brightness of the fuselage) and therefore might have been easier to capture its probe.

I disagree there is no probe and it’s clear

I literally counted the pixels .. And there's certainly something protruding over the left window.. Maybe a partially completed one( doesnt make much sense)

Let's agree to disagree ... IMO there is a probe and this is clear.

Also Huitong confirms it:

It looks similar to the probe on the A-400M.
