On the 772 I thought they always showed front facing seats until about 2-3 days out when an aircraft is assigned. That is when the notches show up. Note this is only for the 772. Not sure how they are handling the new 788s since the new ones have front facing seats.

On the one with all forward facing, it looks like a normal seating map.
Unfortunately, they can freely swapped prior to your flight as they have the same number of seats
