According to Yankee and co the 300mm rocket pods come in two flavours. The five rocket pod are composite material and single use and cannot be reloaded, PLA asked for a more robust metal reloadable version for daily training use. This version only has four rockets with the centre tube being a strengthen tube.
I remember Yankee was joking that the centre tube triggers him due to the wasted space and if only they used that tube for something useful like a 122mm tube for launching drone tipped rockets or something.
I recall he also said one of the function of the reloadable 4 tube pod is it's compatible with 300mm rockets for PHL-03, as they would want to use those up for training first. It sounds like he was implying PHL-16's 300mm rocket is not identical to the older version.
Oh I see, that makes sense.

95% sure misinformation. This is the same 155 gun-howitzer weapon system from the SH-15 on a new NORINCO Beiben truck platform.
