OneWeb mission number 47.

So the Soyuz rockets launched at Vostochny use the Fregat-M variant?

No, Fregat variant only.

The contracts say otherwise for all OneWeb flights:

Just to add to the Fregat-M for Oneweb confusion…

...

It is not known exactly what the "M" stands for. There are no technical details about this "Fregat-M".
All current Fregats are been modernized, even those without "M".
But NPO Lavochkin separates in its press releases, Fregat-M at the CSG and Fregat at the Russian launch sites.
In the "Novator" magazine, too, there is clean separation. The Fregat-M is adapted for the launch at the CSG, without saying exactly what was changed.

24 ноября с территории НПО Лавочкина состоялась отправка 2-× контей- неров с разгонными блоками «Фрегат-М». 25 ноября изделия доставлены авиарейсом до аэропорта Крайний, обслуживающего космодром Байконур.
В составе ракеты-носителя «Союз-2» разгонные блоки «Фрегат-М» обеспе- чат выведение на орбиту космических аппаратов британской спутниковой системы OneWeb. Первый запуск спутников OneWeb с космодрома Байконур планируется в 2020 году.

[GWR64]

Aha thanks for investigating! What does that mean now?
I still don't know what it means Fregat-M or Fregat.
I almost suspect it doesn't matter. 

[Alter Sachse]

Soon the 100th deployment of a Fregat will take place.
Perhaps there will be a report from the manufacturer with new details.

Glonass Fregat 112-15 for next OneWeb launch

[russianhalo117]

Fregat for OneWeb launch July, 1

Looks like 123-12

Glonass Fregat 112-15 for next OneWeb launch

Launch adapter is 123-12 and Fregat is 112-15.

".....The universal upper stage Fregat was created by the Lavochkin Science and Production Association and is intended for use as part of medium and heavy launch vehicles to place spacecraft in various specified orbits. The main upper stage marked the beginning of a whole family of high-performance upper stages, which are created and built on its basis.

The basis of Fregat design and layout is a block of tanks based on a monoblock support structure. It has a torospherical configuration consisting of six welded together spherical containers separated by spherical bottoms. Four of them are tanks oxidizer and propellant, two containers are compartments to accommodate onboard instruments and equipment (one of them hermetically sealed). One of the containers (pressurized) houses the control system monoblock, including satellite navigation equipment and fans of the thermal mode system, while the other (unpressurized) houses the small instrument compartment, service units, as well as high-pressure balloons of the cruise propulsion system and the stabilization, orientation and launch support propulsion system.

Fregat upper stage provides efficient execution of all tasks related to injection of one or more spacecraft into operational orbits or away from Earth trajectories. The entire injection process is performed autonomously without any intervention from Earth. The highest reliability and near-perfect accuracy of injection provide the upper stage with undeniable competitive advantages over global counterparts.

Fregat for next OneWeb launch

[GWR64]

Next OneWeb mission: The number on the Fregat transfer compartment 123-03.
https://www.roscosmos.ru/32187/

The numbers on the covers of the Fregat avionic look different.
Is this already the repaired Fregat 133-16?
According to recent experience, the whole unit will be referred to as number 123-03.

Containers with two Fregat-MT upper stages developed by the Lavochkin Science and Production Association (part of Roskosmos State Corporation) were shipped from the seaport of St. Petersburg to French Guiana. They are intended for use in upcoming launch campaigns operated by the European launch services provider Arianespace.

The Fregat-MT upper stage is a modification of the Fregat upper stage for launches from the Guiana Space Center, and provides the entire process of launching spacecraft in accordance with the flight mission without interference from Earth. The ability to launch payloads from four cosmodromes (Baikonur, Plesetsk, Vostochny, GKTs) in different geographical zones is one of the clear competitive advantages of the product in the world market.

The Russian-European project Soyuz at the Guiana Space Center began in 2003, when a decision was made at a governmental level to launch the Soyuz-ST rocket family from the European launch site in French Guiana. Within the framework of the decisions made, a number of intergovernmental agreements were signed, which laid the legal foundation for the signing of contracts for the construction of the ground infrastructure of the Soyuz launch complex, the manufacture and shipment of Soyuz-ST launch vehicles and Fregat upper stages to the Guiana Space Center.

On September 14, containers with Fregat-M upper stages developed by the S.А. Lavochkin (part of the State Corporation "Roscosmos"). The products were delivered by road to JSC "Sea Port of St. Petersburg", after which the containers were loaded onto a sea vessel, which on September 24 at 03:00 departed for the port of Pariakabo, Kourou (French Guiana). It is planned that the transportation of the Fregat by sea will take about 2 weeks.

The products are prepared for the implementation of the planned launch campaigns from the Guiana Space Center (Kuru Cosmodrome). In particular, these upper stages are intended for use within the launch programs of the OneWeb satellite communications system and the European global satellite navigation system Galileo.

The Fregat-M upper stage is a modification of the Fregat RB for launches from the Guiana Space Center and provides the entire process of launching spacecraft in accordance with the flight mission without interference from the Earth. The ability to launch a payload from four cosmodromes (Baikonur, Plesetsk, Vostochny, GKTs) in different geographic zones is one of the clear competitive advantages of the product in the world market.

The Russian-European Soyuz project at the Guiana Space Center began in 2003, when a decision was made at the government level to launch Soyuz LV from the European cosmodrome in French Guiana. As part of the decisions taken, a number of intergovernmental agreements were signed, which laid the legal basis for signing contracts for the creation of the ground infrastructure of the Soyuz launch complex, the manufacture and shipment of the Soyuz-ST launch vehicle and the Fregat upper stages to the Guiana Space Center. In 2005, the construction of a launch complex for the Soyuz-ST LV began; in May 2011, the official ceremony of handing over the launch complex to the European Space Agency and the cosmodrome operator, Arianespace, took place. The first launch of the Soyuz-ST LV took place in October 2011.
