What version of PSLV will this launch use?

And, even 30 more secondary passengers would not overfill the PSLV-CA payload mass limits to a SSO?(SARAL also used this satellite bus and was launched to a similar polar orbit, with secondary payloads. SARAL massed only 346 kg.)
Launch date has slipped to mid november according to the reaktor hello world cubesat website (one of the payloads on C43). Source: https://reaktorspace.com/reaktor-hello-world/
Also this might end up being a XL variant rather than a CA variant reason being that a extra 450 kg payload was intended to fly on C42 (Which was supposed to be XL variant rather than CA). If that extra 450 kg payload is included on this mission than this will become a XL variant due to payload mass being too heavy for CA and G variant of PSLV being retired.

SARAL used the same bus and massed 346 kg.Gunter gives a payload capacity of 1100 kg to a PSLV-CA to SSO.346 kg + 450 kg = 796 kg796 kg < 1100 kg by approximately 300 kg.Unless there are other, unknown-to-us factors that consume over 300 kg of performance, I hypothesize that this launch will use PSLV-CA.
