I have posted this quite some time ago but couldn't seem to find it using the search function myself so here it goes again...
There are currently four types of Raffles Class seats in operation:
1) SpaceBed: the famous(ly positive & negative) lie-flat bed. Seat pitch is IIRC 58 inches on B744s and B772ERs.
2) Ultimo: exist only on one single aircraft: B747-400 with registration 9V-SMT. Seat pitch is 52 inches.
3) Regional J (New): with dark blue cloth surface. With AVOD. Seat pitch is 50". (your second picture link)
4) Regional J (Older): with light blue cloth surface. With no AVOD. Seat pitch is 50". (your first picture link)
The last two (3 & 4) exists on ALL Boeing 777 flights to Australia. So if your flight is scheduled as '777', you will get either the new Regional J or old Regional J.
Some FTers have mistakenly dubbed the new Regional J seat as Ultimo, when it is actually not. Totally different seat design.
For a redeye, of course I would take SpaceBed anytime. But these regional J seats are quite comfortable to say the least.
Hope this clears things up.
