YJ-8 changed for maybe C802A, as SSM arragement changed obviously. Engine shows some difference, though I'm not sure about it.

the SSM arrangement looks pretty much similar in this earlier picture.... do the canisters of C-802 and C-802A look different?

I didn‘t notice 535 have changed YJ-8 to YJ-83. Originally 053H2 is like this;

I don't know how to differenciate C-802, C802A and YJ-83 from outlook.
hmm.... the C-802 has a range of 120km.... the C-802A has 180km.... this may suggest that the C-802A should be a bigger missile with more fuel capacity.... the C-803 should be even bigger.... well, fuel need may also be different because of the fuel type and engine design.... any clue?

My recent knowledge (from some wise people in Chinese military forum) told me that there is no C-803. C-802 and YJ-83 are similar and the same generation of SSM. Since these missles appeared for many years, this should be more authorative than any English materials.
The scientists later develope C-802A which have longer range than C-802, this technique is also used in YJ-83 and with the designation YJ-83J.
The length seems to have no much difference because of new technique.
