Given they are ex EK and the business configuration is 2-3-2 I guess (hope) there is a chance that they might have retained two rows of EK seats.
That is the same sector that I’ll be doing but in September instead. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Looking at Flight Radar it seems that one of the leased 777s hasn’t done any flights at the moment but the other one has been doing a lot of Hajj / Umrah flights (including a number to CGK).
It seems that later in the year these aircraft will be operating to CGK as part of Saudia’s normal schedule - whether that actually turns out to be the case or not remains to be seen. The seat maps of these aircraft may have been loaded by mistake or as a placeholder. By the time the flight operates it may be changed to one of their regular J12 77Ws.
