Yup. Qingkeda-1 is OHS-1-01 and Guiyang-1 is OHS-1-03.
Qingkeda is the short for 青岛科技大学（Qingdao University of Science and Technology), and Guiyang is the provincial center of Guizhou. So these are names after sponsors/participants.
And possibly, the other sats will also have their own names.

The sign says OHS-2 instead of OHS-1. Which one is correct?!

Two of the launch photos in high-res (credit: Wang Jiangbo/Xinhua) - it's pretty hard to get one before for the CZ-11!
Also the company's logo looks rather......classical.

Someone also wondered about that on the Chinese forum I visit - perhaps the company simply skipped the 1st generation for the hyper-spectral sats.
