As of now, there are 24 of them in service with this configuration and 5 more with the Polaris seating. UA will show the seat map of the older version and if they intend on using one of the planes with Polaris seats, they will update the seat map about 2 days before departure. Given that the ratio is 24/5 for the old configuration, I would expect that and be pleasantly surprised if you do end up with a Polaris bird.
I could be completely wrong but in my experience the 3 cabin aircraft typically fly out of ORD and IAD. I would not bank on a Polaris retrofit but i would guess at some point they may switch the seat map to a 2 class pmco 777
