I think these are more likely export designs where as the 2 photos that were posted previously a few pages back are likely going to be what replaces the 95's.

Full length top tactical rail, keymod on the side and bottom of front handguard, folding but non-adjustable buttstock, selector on the thumb side...ok, this more like further evolution of Type 03, no frills as far as I can see.

It won't work for non-weibo member, no matter what browser you use.
I think the buttstock length is adjustable; there is that crease we see on the buttstock which suggests it is meant to slide, I think.
Also, I don't think we can necessarily call this a mere evolution of the QBZ-03 without knowing the internals and how it all comes together vs the QBZ-03.
And given the modularity of the gun, I feel like they probably went back to the drawing board to design a new weapon from the ground up but being relatively safe and conservative while also trying to make it relatively ergonomic, straight forward but offering the rails and mounts that you'd expect for a modern rifle. It also looks like the barrel is free floating?

Perhaps. Looks like they keep the gas system, but resigned everything else. And since the front foregrip doesn't seem to have any connection with the barrel, it could be indeed free-floating barrel design..
I wonder if this is the export variant of the domestic model that's still undergoing the bidders' trials? If so, they could very well make the AR, carbine, DMR (match-grade barrel and specialist ammo, which their manufactorum is capable to make them) out of one baseline design,
