Air inlets looks like SF 24 Barcelona spec.
Indeed, it's SF24 with hp sponsorship on outboard turning vane. I believe it's from Hungary, when Leclerc had an off at T4. It's not post-Monza floor for sure.
Thanks for sharing, here's the original article

I've done some rough photo enhancing for better contrast and trying to get more details. I've circled bulk details on the the left side and put numbers on the right where we have the radii reflection giving us the perfect overview of the floor contour
1) the SIS tube bulge, which we saw already in early season on photos from top side. It's very prominent and a local suction-generating surface no doubt. This area is very delicate due to interaction with the main turning-vane vortex
2) this seems to be the area where the throat is, ie where the tunnel roof is the shortest. This section seems to be going down towards the floor edge wing, which generates extraction and local suction in this area
3) the junction area with outboard tunnel wall, I think this area is very important for cornering performance and flow stability in critical conditions. It just so happens this is the area where Ferrari will be making a big change for next year it seems
4) the diffuser kick, fairly tall compared to RB and McL, if Ferrari really move the cockpit and everything behind backwards to move the CoG back - this area may go down a bit to bring more rear load and more load overall obviously
5) the outboard diffuser geometry has been changed since the start of the season, Ferrari seem to have found a way to introduce a bigger local curvature here to increase local load in an area without critical ride-height sensitivity
