Yes indeed. You just won the lottery. That is the new First Class cabin seating.

Unusual for this route so cross your fingers/pray that they don't swap planes.
Definitely looks like a one off since the seat map for Sunday is the only one in the next week with new First.
Interesting that EF shows the flight to be F4 A4 and you appear be the only passenger, despite the EK.com seat map which is notorious for blocking seats.
A simple call to EK will unblock 2A for you if you are interested.
