The successfully recovered Long March 10B Y1 booster has now been transported all the way to Tianjin. One of China's major aerospace manufacturing hubs.

This seems to suggest that TJSW-27A/27B used an ECA-like structure (see Ariane 5's attached) to fit both inside the Long March 6A's fairing. The one used for Y18 definitely has space. Previous 6A's have demonstrated a 'triple' ECA-like structure.
