Extra Legroom, but Not E+?

Is this right? Did they do something with the middle bulkheads that cause the middle section to be compressed?
I wanted to follow up on this and see if anyone has updated info. I saw this reply:

You can see the slight pitch difference on https://www.aerolopa.com/ua-boeing-78p

I'd speculate the center column alignment may be to allow for room for cross-over at the front of the cabin with a bassinet.
But when you look on United's site, they show these middle seats as having "extra legroom", but not being E+:



Given that a regular E+ seat is $229 from an Aussie flight, but these are only $43, is this a bit of a bargain? It seems like there must be some extra room in there since those seats seem to line up with E+. It may not be the full extra legroom if they left some space for crossover, but I'm wondering if anyone knows how close it is?
