The FCC label picture like the A1991 filing as "Assembled in China" on the example label. Either indicative that Apple switched after filing (lines up with other rumor reports) or has two assembly points ( China one is being kept on the far "down low" for political dog and pony show purposes. )
[ this story seemed to think the A1991 at the FCC was "new". That leaked a while back. But the FCC listing is linked.

If the tower cleared in late October than there may be a month between general availability for these (if Apple applied in advance for them to "pop put" from cloaked mode about a month apart. ). With the long delay maybe they'll surprise and pull it off without some large scarcity "problem" that will force single tracking on models for a while.
These racks can probably sell to macOS hosting sites at 256GB quite well since only need to host the virtualizer base on the primary drive. ( the rest can be loaded off the SAN with migration and failover supported.)
the two "top" TB ports moved to the forward edge and the power button presumably near the power on indicator light. (only would need a small motherboard mod to that. Or it is rerouted in the container. ).
