That and the initial flight testing phase has been completed for now.

Does the spine look different to anyone? Or is it just the angle of photo giving that impression?

Just the angle. Possibly, the changes - if any - are internal.

Is it me or is the pilot in the front wearing a non-regulation helmet? It could be the PLAAF one, but I wonder .... HMCS?

Better resolution required.

The absence of Pitot Tube is obvious.

Anyone with a more frontal view of this fighter jet! which gives a good view of frontal aspect of leading edges.

The JF-17B BC0001 prototype conducted its maiden flight on April 27, 2017. The JF-17B 02 prototype flew for the first time on December 7, 2017. Currently the 01 prototype (17-601) is conducting test flights at PAC with the pitot tube removed from the nose. The 03 prototype conducted its maiden flight on August 3rd, 2018. The latest rumor (November 2018) suggested that an EW variant (JF-17E?) has been proposed.
