Flightradar24 may not have the correct aircraft information. If you check the seat map for the inbound flight (AA66 on 12/19) on the AA website, it doesn't show the notches for that flight either.
Or it could be an AA website issue. It is mentioned earlier in the thread that the seat map is always shown without notches until about 48 hours before the flight, at which time it gets updated if a Zodiac aircraft is assigned. Both the inbound (AA66 on 12/19) and AA113 on 12/20 are more than 48 hours away. It's possible that the Flightradar24 information is correct, but the AA site doesn't show the correct info yet.

If you check the seat map for earlier flights using N781AN, the AA website shows the notches, so it is safe to assume that the aircraft does indeed have Zodiac seats, as is also stated on the fleet site.
