AFAIK, the new regional product is still named as the old regional product (330, 773 and 777), no specific difference as the new interior planes also have the same configuration.
Same goes to KA, B-HLC, B-HLK, B-HLJ will still be named as 33C even with new product.

A new problem after the Amadeus migration is that MMB will not update aircraft info when the aircraft is changed.

Yep, have that same problem too. One of my flights is displaying the seat map of a 744 but still shows as a 330 on the MMB itinerary page.

Sure would be nice if they added Y+ to some of the longer "regional" flights such as HK to BKK

It would not be practical to do so. Some people pay business on longhaul, but pay economy on a regional flight because of flying time. Comfort factor on regional flights would not matter much. Pricing of Premium Economy and Business class on a regional flight would not be a big difference. Don't forget that CX uses long-haul aircraft to regional destinations. Even other Asian carriers with Premium Economy on long-haul flights such as JL and NH don't have Y+ on their regional configured aircraft. And pretty much their 5 hr max flights really dont use long-haul configured a/c whereas CX uses both long and regional aircraft.
