Both the 283 and 286 are showing as 747 which is two A380s elsewhere
Some info posted in the S19 schedule thread copied here:

Looking at where the A380 fleet are currently listed for S19 schedules:
1 x HKG Daily
1 x SIN Daily
1 x JNB Daily
1 x LAX Daily
1 x SFO Daily
1 x YVR Daily
1 x BOS MON/FRI/SUN

Can’t see anything listed for ORD/IAD/MIA.

10 A380’s are required MON/FRI/SUN and 9 A380’s on TUE/WED/THU/SAT to operate the current S19 schedule loaded.
Now your are saying that the 1x LAX is dropping so not sure where that is going. There is now the mentioned DXB addition too but definitely slack in the network. BAs first big C checks are coming up but not until September/October for XLEA/XLEB first so shouldn’t account for dip in July schedule. There must be one more route getting it. Back to 2x JNB like they have done before would remove this slack so very possible.
