Per a.net members aviaponcho and knoxibus in the A350 production thread:
The greyish/white tail is covering some kind of special livery, we'll have to wait until it's unveiled... I guess that will be around MSN2 first flight, so probably somewhere in January 2014...

Or a new Airbus group livery, highlighting recently decided changes in the group organisation (EADS to become Airbus group ...).

I agree with philidor that this may be a change to reflect the new EADS/Airbus. Here's another idea, it may be some sort of Advertising slogan like they did with the A380 (hopefully this time with less white)  F-WWDD Airbus A380 - Farnborough 2008 by benallsup, on Flickr and here's a wild/crazy idea, considering that MSN002 is a cabin demonstrator maybe they'll make an 'Airbus Airlines/Airways' |

MSN002, the first A350 be fitted with a full cabin interior, is progressing: After completion of structural activities and successful electrical power-on, the aircraft was recently transferred to ‘Station 30’ at the Final Assembly Line (FAL) for indoor ground testing. Subsequently, the first cabin monuments such as crew rests and galleys are being installed during September, before testing outdoors. www.aviationbusiness.com.au/news/airbus-a350-xwb-test-program-remains-on-schedule |

Yes it's that panel, but I'm not sure whether all has been installed, i should use more accurate wording...at least i know they were installing them last weekend(Sep 26).. but it shouldn't take a long time right? |

It normally takes 1 day to install all the panels, but I can imagine they take a bit more time for MSN2 because it's a new type aircraft.
