That is quite possible. She was at UTP for D-Check. She could then be converted to the new config (dubbed "74N") right afterward.
According to the Summer TPI, TG920/921 is scheduled to be operated by 74N starting 1 August. They need at least 2 aircrafts for that (preferably 3 aircrafts for operational consistency). Usually the first retrofitted aircraft will take longer to retrofit and re-certify (for the last retrofit, there was a delay of up to 3 month between first and second retrofit aircraft) so I think if they want to stick to the plan they should start with HS-TGY now.

oops, my bad, I do admit I kept flipping between the images on the zmag viewer.
I think 2A would be a nice seat. 1A would be too boxed up

Definitely keeping my eyes on this thread as I'm on MUC-BKK in June and would love to give the new F a shot! I'm getting the 777 suite from BKK-FRA on the return and I would be happy to post a trip report and compare the two
