Could you make a similar screenshot like you did with MSN17?

I think early-built A350s have to be upgraded to certification level before delivery. I don't know how many frames are concerned (possibly all block 2 frames --> up to MSN 20 ?). That's why you see so many of them being moved around, and that may also be one reason why Airbus has planned to move some of them to tents.

Sorry Philidor, equally what does 'certification level' mean here since surely any frame being constructed should meet those levels? Was a special effort made in last-minute modifications made for Qatar's delivered frame that set a new spec. that others must reach? I assumed that all frames behind her were aiming for the standards defined some while ago and may be slightly modified if data from the flight test programme suggested so.
