Aircraft listed is a 777-300ER. I am assuming that most of those still have the angled J class seats?
I flew on a B777 from SIN to MEL recently and was pleasantly surprised to discover it had a fully-flat seat in J.
Q1: Is there any way to tell those with fully-flat from the angled-flat product ahead of time?
Q2: Does anyone have recent experience of the product usually flown on EK 247?
Thanks in advance

A1: Registration A6-EPV and newer have the new J cabin. There is no way of knowing in advance which frame will be used on a certain day. For the return trip (i.e. GIG/DXB), you can see the registration of the outbound aircraft after it has left DXB, but that is obviously too late to make decisions w.r.t booking flights.
A2: According to
The EK Source - Emirates Airline Flight Tracker., EK247 has been operated by EPV once and by EQE once in the last month. As the question is 'usually', recent stats suggest an ECx frame to be the most likely.
