That is the old rover. It is on Mars day number 3,048 of operation.

Whew! Thanks for that clarification!! I thought this was the new rover as well. I was also looking at the plastic zip ties that they used to strap the cables in place thinking they might degrade quickly in the sun. Obviously not! They have lasted longer than the designed life of the old rover!

Thanks so much for these threads and amazing images.
