Kitty Shining Star Jet will be used for TPE-SIN and TPE-IAH and that is a 77A. My guess is the 77M is a retrofit of the 77N, not a new type.
I noticed that too. I think the seat map for 77M must be wrong.
From the map, you can see that row 69, 70, 71 are now 9-across instead of of 7-across. That added 6 seats. And then there is a new row 72 with only seat A/B and J/K. That added 4 seats for a total of 10 new seats.
I think the map is showing 72 D/E/F is probably wrong. The middle rows were already pushed back a bit due to the mid Y cabin galley and I don't see how they could add another row without removing the rear center lavatory.
