No, these parts are still under construction. The nose section has not been mated yet.

That part spotted of MSN151 is half of the ForwardFuselage, it will have to be mounted with the cockpit, I highly think then that we won't see MSN151 in a convoy before the Summer break. Other pieces spotted in the past in the same state were then thereafter carried on convoy around 2 months and a half after the first pictures in Saint Nazaire, so with the Summer Break we might not see MSN151 in a convoy before late September early October?... MSN151 will then not be delivered as we thought in March next year,... Fabien

It is MSN116 with 35 weeks and 1 day. MSN116 also holds the record of fastest frame through Final Assembly Line, 8 weeks and 2 days. Fabien

Theoretically then as long as convoy takes place by the end of July, a March delivery is still possible. Particularly as one might expect that production times may fall between now and then.
