WS-10B
 
Why not? There is no sign of being orherwise.

Well, unless the PLANAF, PLAAF, or another customer purchases it, is there an incentive to pour money into a stillborn project?
 
Short, Stubby Nozzles : Check
Neither 16 nor 18 petals: Check

The hints are being dropped again and again
 
Some individuals think the WS-15 also has 15 petals
Could be that other engines also have nozzles with 15 petals, or that there's just one common TVC nozzle for both WS-10 and 15. Is there any evidence that this is the WS-15?
 
It is the legendary WS-15 ermei engine we are all waiting for.......

IMO highly unlikely ...

Yes, but that does not necessarily means THISs nozzle has to be a WS-15, ...

No ... and therefore IMO it is more likely a test-nozzle related to the WS-15's one but here mated onto a WS-10.

It makes no sense at all to test a new and completely unproven engine together with a new nozzle on a single engine type ... and the fact that they show it at Zhuhai is IMO proof that it is 100% for sure not the WS-15.
