I have a feeling the J-10B that enter PLAAF service will be equipped by WS-10 engine.

I tend to believe the first batch would be equiped with AL-31FN cep3.

But what we see is only production serie batch in factory test out and test centre batch with AL-31 engine. I believe the one enter service will swap into WS-10 engine.

As for why do they make such a hassle and trouble in doing that? I am not sure. Maybe they want to prolong the life of WS-10. Or they want to quickly expend all AL-31 engine before swapping all engine to WS-10 to standardise all using domestic engine.
