I am deducing that the launch will be from LC 43/4 as 43/3's "return to launch" will be the
Glonass-M launch in December.
Any deductions as to what the payload(s) will be?
Most likely it/they will receive a Kosmos designation(s)?
Kosmos 2542, and maybe more?

RKTs Progress director Dmitriy Baranov says that two out of three Soyuz-2-1v launch vehicles ordered by the Ministry of Defense for 2019 have been finished. One is in storage at RKTs Progress and the other has been shipped to the Plesetsk cosmodrome. A third rocket is in the final stages of assembly.
It is not quite clear from his statement if the rocket delivered to Plesetsk is the one used to launch Kosmos-2535/2536/2537/2538 last July. Possibly, that rocket was part of an earlier order by the Ministry of Defense. According to the Russian launch schedule on the NK forum there is another Soyuz-2-1v/Volga scheduled for launch from Plesetsk before the end of this year.
The original contract was for 5 rockets. Contract 1719187308072412246024961 from 2017, is connected to Volga upper stages №7, №8 and №9. I think №6 was for Lomonosov?

As I have mentioned in the Kosmos-2535/2536/2537/2538 thread, a possible payload for this mission could be NPO Lavochkin's 14F150 nr. 2 (same type as Kosmos-2519). It is known from procurement documentation that this satellite was to be shipped to the Plesetsk cosmodrome in the first half of this year. There is reason to believe that it was not among the four satellites launched by the Soyuz-2-1v last July. Kosmos-2535 and 2536 may be the first satellites flown under the Burevestnik ASAT project and Kosmos-2537 and 2538 (which have not maneuvered so far) are possibly radar calibration satellites.
If the payload for the upcoming launch is indeed 14F150 nr. 2, it could also carry one or more subsatellites like Kosmos-2521 and 2523. Of course, all this remains very speculative. The Russians have a tendency to surprise us with missions like these, so let's wait and see what happens.

I'm not sure if 43/3 ended up with 2.1v adapting hardware installed as 16/2 is/was supposed to be rebuilt to solely take over 2.1v launches.

A general question wasn’t the Russian parliament meant to be passing a law classifying all these procurement documents so they no longer were published online?

Hasn't happened so far, but I guess it's just a matter of time. This is where most of the leaks are taking place.

Thank you. I saw information about the proposal posted on here, and then it all seemed to go quiet on the matter.

Soyuz-2.1v missile successfully launched from Plesetsk with a military satellite
11/25/2019 20:56:14
Moscow. November 25. INTERFAX - The aerospace forces successfully launched the Soyuz-2.1v launch vehicle from the Plesetsk cosmodrome, the Russian Ministry of Defense’s Information and Communications Department told reporters.
"On Monday, November 25, at 20:52 Moscow time, from the launcher No. 4 of platform No. 43 of the State Testing Cosmodrome of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Plesetsk Cosmodrome), the Soyuz-2.1 light carrier rocket was successfully launched by the combat crew of the Aerospace Forces in "with a spacecraft designed in the interests of the Russian Defense Ministry," the Ministry of Defense said.
The ministry noted that all prelaunch operations and the launch of the Soyuz-2.1v rocket went on as normal. Means of a ground-based automated control complex monitored the launch and launch of the launch vehicle.
This is the second launch of the Soyuz-2.1v light carrier rocket carried out in 2019 from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. The previous launch from the northern spaceport was carried out on July 10, 2019.
The launch of the Soyuz-2.1v light-class launch vehicle, the flight design tests of which have been taking place at the Plesetsk cosmodrome since 2013, has been carried out by the space forces for the sixth time.

They noted that it would take several hours for the spacecraft to be put into a calculated orbit by the Volga launch unit.
