As far as I know, it indeed features the new NEV4 J seat. This seat, which has been criticized for not being a full-flat bed does not need a cabin ajustment, thus retrofit can be done very quickly (that was the main objective).

Regarding the B777-300ERs with such "Leisure" configuration, they all are new aircrafts (no retrofit) so they should include also this new J seat.
