On Il76/8 changes, these below are unreported in DB and need to be found. The Chinese Air Force got a dozen refurbished IL76's instead of new builds and a few Il-78's. Some are delivered but some still might be in Russia being modifed. You only have two of the retreads in the db China 20541 and 20545.

The ones below may be undelivered or just recently delivered and new Chinese reg not identified as they have been photographed with the 78*** regs, which may be Russian rework numbers rather than Chinese but are in full Chinese c/s (possibly 1F**** as reworks a/c)

I do not know if you will be able to tie up to any unknowns you may have from your other DB's or picked up either in Russia or China?
