What version of PSLV will this launch use?

Probably PSLV-XL.
Yes.
I see that Gunter has changed his LV assignment for PSLV C43 to the PSLV-CA version.

Am I right to deduce that this is because the primary payload, HySIS, is using the SSB-2 microsatellite bus?  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.)

Exactly - the small mass of all payloads is a very strong hint, that the CA version will be used.

Launch date has slipped to mid november according to the reaktor hello world cubesat website (one of the payloads on C43).

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.

The countdown on that page points to a launch time of November 22, 8am (Helsinki local time)

HySIS is using the SSB-2 microsatellite bus.  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 kg

796 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.

Your forgetting the 31 commercial co-passenger payloads. The 450 kg payload is a single payload that was supposed to go up on C42 mission back in september so it may launch on this pslv instead in addition to the other 31 co-passenger payloads. It should add a few hundred kg to the overall payload mass. Also this mission will involve multiple restarts of the upper stage so they may choose the XL variant for extra safety margin. Two similar missions (C38 in june 2017 and C40 in january 2018) were both XL variants so make of that what you will.

There was a recent reference in the local press to a launch of HySIS at the end of November with PSLV C43

Probably PSLV-XL.
Yes.

Spaceflight confirm to me it's flying in the CA configuration.

That would be a first if it turns out to be true. The CA config of PSLV has never carried more than 10 satellites nor has it ever undertaken a upper stage restart.

Cross-post; launch date NET November 29, NOTAM restrictions daily 04:00-08:00 UTC:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ISRO/comments/9xb41y/a_partial_notam_for_pslv_c43_hysis_is_out/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

04:00 UTC = 9:30 am IST

Given the SSO information in the attached image with satellite information up-thread, and the NOTAM, is it possible to deduce a launch time-of-day?
