- at the bottom of Blok A, below the lox tank, there's another hemispherical shape that goes below the engines. Some kind of heat protection wall for the plumbing?

- the roll control engines appear to have been moved below the vehicle, between the inner and middle engines. You can see them as dots in the aft view, and there appears to be a prop line going there in the side view

Hey!

My guess was based on the structures circled below, which to me seem to be equivalents of the ones in the back view. Given that the rest of the last drawing seems to only show the vehicle and not ground equipment, it was the only thing that made sense to me.

Also, here are the other views
