You can see the engines if you zoom in on the large image. I can't see any, may be its my iPad screen The wings bend more downwards when you attach 2 engines ?

I think in fact relooking at the picture, it looks that we can distinguish an engine indeed, but to me it looks like there would be only one engine on the right side?... (engine #3, and engine #4 missing?....) can that make sense?....

The right wing is still to high, not being held down by the weight of engines ?

That answers that question then

Does that mean a change of production procedure, or shortage of engine problem? It looks more like the former, isn't it?

Even w/o engines the 1st test power up are done, like P18 for a A350. MSN208+209 were quite fast after rollout to FF. The FAL times are very similar for the last 4 frames (MSN211 roll out today w/o engines).
