SS 789 infant seat in J

I have an upcoming flight in a couple of days on the SS 789. The seat map on JAL.com shows an infant in 2K and adjacent 2H occupied, but EF shows both seats as blocked, not occupied. When I first booked a month ago, I don’t recall seeing the infant in 2K.

Does JL routinely block 2K for infants and show the infant symbol as a placeholder on the seat map, or is there actually an infant on my flight that has been “tentatively” assigned 2K (thus it showing as unavailable on JAL.com but merely blocked on EF)? I normally prefer the forward cabin, but if there really will be an infant on board I’ll sit in the rear cabin.

The infant symbol should only appear if someone is sitting there with an infant. I think EF is showing it wrongly, maybe due to the infant flag.

At least for JL, EF seat map is often inaccurate after OLCI opens up.
