QF currently have scheduled 380 and 789 aircraft to LHR. Their only narrow body jets are 738s and 717s and, thankfully, they don’t go anywhere near LHR. The last time QF regularly scheduled narrow body aircraft to LHR was decades ago when 707s were operated.

I don't believe that that is true. istr Qantas used to run feeder services from Manchester to Heathrow using small aeroplanes

Do you think that the airplane standing next to 380 is 789, it just looks like a narrow jet...

Yes to the “slot keeper” feeder LHR-MAN but AFAIK it was a BAE146 feeder wet leased for the QF ops. Unsure of livery. But it appears unlikely it had QF colours. I still maintain that QF have not had a narrow body aircraft in LHR since the 707 days.

And compare your photo with a 787 with a 737 (presented in that order)
Yours:
