What chopper is that?

Looks even more comical than the old Z8?

Those stupid nose cones and these even look like new builds

A variant of the civil AC313 ... AFAIK called Z-8AWJ, but I could be wrong.

I really don't understand why this - in fact new helicopter - is still labelled a Z-8 variant.

Common engine and propulsion components?
Some hold over of requirements?
No new designation allocated?
Easier to get approval for?
Some General really likes the way it rolls off the tongue?

The Turbomeca Turmo IIIC engines belong in a museum.
