If the barrel and handguard between the LSW and DMR variants are the same, and the receiver and the rest of the rifle are also the same, then it is the same gun.
Compared to a standard rifle length QBZ-191, QBU-191 has longer, likely heavier barrel, new and longer handguard, possibly free floated. Those are all modifications that are as appropriate for a DMR as for an LSW.

So I could see the rationale for QBU-191 operating both as an LSW and the DMR role. Swap out the scopes and maybe even the magazine, and the gun can be equally viable in both roles, though of course a standard 30 round magazine is perfectly fine for the LSW role as well.

It wouldn't be dissimilar to the M27 and M38.

Didn't the British did the same with SA80 once they found the LMG variant had pretty tight grouping?

Drum magazine on the DMR variant? Maybe done to give it some kind of squad automatic role when the occasion calls for it?

That might be fake since there was someone who made a QBZ191 mod for aerial view game who edited the qbz191 model via photoshop. Unless YAO posted this before him but I doubt this is the case.

I mean the DMR is real and the IAR is just that but with a drum mag. We know that the PLA uses drum mags so I don't think it's too far from the real thing.

Sorry if I missed the a post but is there any information about new cartridges and chamber pressure for the new gun?

Not yet, but 5.8x42mm has surprisingly low pressure. They claim the chamber pressure of the DBP10 is around 42,000 psi but it has comparable speed and muzzle energy compared to .224 Valkyrie with 55,000 psi chamber pressure from slightly longer barrel. Pretty curious about the new DBP191's performance.
