Yes, I thought the same. I have never seen a test partwork to get the full release earlier than 8-12 months after the end of the test release. I also checked right now again their website and I can confirm that this model still isn't in the list.
Not even on National Title File.
I contacted customer service myself on telephone and they keep telling that a full release now is running.

It's definitely a test, my account has been updated with estimated dispatch 20/11/20
I'm not sure what the gift is, whether it would contain first few test issues or not

A medium size jiffy bag arrived today.
I opened it thinking it was something that I've ordered of eBay. It was a pack of Harry Potter cards. I immediately thought that someone sent me the wrong item. I read the letter enclosed, it was my free gift for the harry potter subscription. The letter explained that the test had come to an end and the playing cards were a free gift. The second slip of paper was an advice note saying that my subscription issues were enclosed. I had to double check the jiffy bag as nothing else was in there, no magazines or partworks. The Jiffy would have been too small for the magazine any way, but I did double check just in case
I recognised the playing cards when I first open the jiffy bag as I purchased some a few years ago from my local supermarket.

I received exactly the same yesterday. No test issues, just the gift. It looks like this is the end of the test run.
No doubt this partwork will get full release within some months. The interest is extremely high as far as I know.

If this is going live, then I should imagine it will be early in the New Year

Does anyone have any news on this build. I'm most excited about this getting released for this year.
