Aircraft types on Chinese domestic flights

I'm somewhat intrigued by what is going on in regards to aircraft types which are shown on reservation systems (airline websites, travel agent websites, ...).

Example of this:

I book a flight on CZ for PVG-XIY, shows as 737 before booking. Once booking confirmed, shows as 757 though sometimes shows again as 737.

I book another flight, this time on CA, XIY-PEK, shows as 74E before booking. Once booking confirmed, shows as 738.

What is right in all of this? What aircraft type can I expect to see (if the flight isn't cancelled).
