As one can see, there’s still a lot of work to do on the airframe before it finally flies…
I believe this was during the transfert of the a/c from the sections assembly jigs post (poste 40) to the “finishing” post (poste 30).

It will probably look like this at the end… (yes, it’s the clean version! ;o))
