1) I believe that in an earlier post, someone mentioned that the Zenit for this launch was already in Baikonur.

and

2) What is the normal timeline for a launch when the Fregat upper stage is delivered?

The Zenit that was delivered was for the Spektr-R mission, but could probably be used for either.  Someone at Sea Launch told me the XM-5 mission is being moved to late 2010 as that vehicle has been commandeered for a Russian Federal mission.  There are now vehicles for both missions.

Zenith-2SB/Fregat-SB: Dry Roll-Out

   Zenith-2SB/Fregat-SB tests at the launch site begin at Baikonur.
   Specialists of the Trnasport Machine Building Design Bureau with other Roscosmos Yuzhnoe Desing Bureau (Ukrain) experts performed roll-out of the Zenith-2SB launcher with Fregat-SB upper stage from the integration and test facility (site 42) to launch pad (site 45).
   Integrated tests of the launcher will be performed during the "dry roll-out".
   Either two-stage Zenith carrier, or Zenith/DM-SLB (developed by RSC-Energia) was used at Baikonur before.

Interesting information : "SB" stands for "сбрасываемые баки"...
Any idea of the GRAU designation of this new version ?

Elektro-L was transported to the servicing station on Area 31 for loading of the propellant components and compressed gases.

In the assembly and testing facility site 1942 were conducted the tests of the electrical system of the launch vehicle.
