I agreed with the comment before on wait and see what MSN215 has. But even if MSN215 roll out with engine, that could be unique for BA/RR - a different/old procedure that Airbus have to follow.
After EK MSN224 the new normal is RR engines  |

It might just be that assembly now takes even less time than it used to, but engines are taking the same time, thus frames are ahead of engines coming in...

It seems to me that the general procedure has been changed. Any difference might be related to Airbus and EA reducing the pace of production. |

EA are reducing production rates already because after MSN 224 there is not going to be much need for their engines on the A380 between MSN225 - MSN248 only 12 engines needed, plus a spare or two  |

Looks like a 2 class or LR frame from this distance. |

I'd think not 2-class, and indeed perhaps LR?... Hard to say for now, we might know more when it rolls out  |

You can zoom in as much as you want, but still no engines, unless they are very very small  |
