United operates two versions of the 767-400ER, one of which features true Polaris seating and a Premium Plus Cabin.
For guidance on the new Polaris version, use this thread -- Everything You Want to Know about Where to Sit on the 764 true Polaris and PP version
While United is in the process of completing these updates during 2023, some flights will show the old (non-Polaris) seat map but then change to the Polaris-style seat map. Typically this switch shows on the flight status page after midnight (CT) 2+ days before the flight's scheduled departure.

Premium Economy also has outside pairs on both the 781 and 764.

But then there wouldn't be any comparative advantage to one aircraft or the other, while OP seems to be considering trading extra flying time (disadvantage) for better seat config (advantage).

correct, the outside pairs in Y appeal to us, else on the 781 one person has to be the odd one out. PP on 781 would work only if we could BU at reasonable cost.
