The older 2015, MCIWS, model. The barrel seems to be slightly longer than the newer, renamed, AAR models.

MCIWS is renamed to AAR - Advanced Assault Rifle

The ARDE's Advanced Assault Rifle (AAR) , previously known as MCIWS, is going to be inducted into Indian Armed Forces within just 6-10 months if any further problem doesn't arise. All modifications, suggested and demanded by army, have been done. All trials have been conducted successfully. The new model has reduced the weight further, means AAR is lighter than early MCIWS. It can accept 5.56, 6.8, and 7.62 mm ammo, giving an edge. AK magazines can be used in 7.62mm configuration. Weapon rate of fire is 600-650 RPM with 500m range. More than 250 models have been evaluated and more than 25000 rounds have been fired till now from each rifle.
 
New belt fed LMG

Pretty much a FN MAG clone with P-rails.
Lighter weight MAG with some differences in the gas block and it's lighter than M240L which uses a shorter barrel. Looks like they've shed quite a lot of weight somehow. Original MG 2A1 used in the sustained fire role without bipod ,buttstock and tripod is 11.1 KG for comparison.

Can you point me to the source, twitter links, insta links of both these photos?
