Possibly the first images of the J-15B, rumored to have an AESA radar, CATOBAR-compatible gear, PL-10 & PL-15 missiles, and other possible upgrades. Photos are from a recently published video of a J-15 unit during day-night combat training.

I must admit, I'm a sceptical, at least from this image: what makes him to assume these are a J-15B and J-15T?
Maybe I miss a certain detail but isn't it much more likely that these two are just ordinary prototypes at Huangdicun?
My point is, that the sole J-15T prototype is known already in grey with the number 571 and that there are still several regular yellow one even with calibration markings still flying at Huangdicun.
I agree that the labeled jet cannot be a J-15T since the known prototype is already painted in grey.
I think he suspects that these are the J-15B due to them being in yellow primer, indicative of a freshly-built airframe, and that the time is appropriate for the J-15B to make an appearance considering that the PLAN's two aircraft carriers are almost all in service.
