While there is an extra periscope, theres reporting from when the project was first known publicly that they are going with 2 men crews. Besides while here 2 men can sit comfortable, 3 would not be comfortable at all.
You have to look it from the POV of PLA planners, what is necesary and what can be compromised. Besides it has an APS, which makes armor not that critical.
An IFV is very unlikely. Rear engine and 2 front positions are not properties of a modern IFV, and the gun is too long for a reasonable IFV caliber cannon.
It's not unheard of IFV with rear engine and 2 front position. It's also not unheard of MBT and IFV using same chassis but using different end as front. And having more than one front position wasn't a the thing at all for any tank since cold war until T-14 came out so who's to say how the new doctrine would affect IFV.
Which brings us to this thing spotted I don´t know when nor where but it has a "flavour" similar to "ZTZ-XX", right? Angles, likely unmanned turret profile, etc. And it also has 6 wheels.
Rear engine IFVs are not used for good reason as it makes it very difficult to dismount for basically no benefit besides making the vehicle smaller. Making a rear-engined IFV would be a regression in terms of design. 2 front positions in tanks matches what the concepts for a new gen tank look like. If you want to argue that 2 front positions are a result of a new doctrine you should probably write what you think that doctrine is or its not very convincing.
