I dunno man, even the radome is a different color. The texture of the paint is more uniform in the 2nd image, but it's just paint. There may be a groove missing from the 2nd image under the nose area, that can be seen in the 1st photo, but that could be a cannon, and there might only be one of them. The images are biased, viewed from the right or left, and some features might not be present from both viewpoints. I'll meet you half-way and say my opinion is the 2nd image is the real fighter, but the rocket is CGI -- superimposed on the photo! What say ye to that?
