Well that seems pretty official
Bishop airlock 1090 kg
Speculation time: is the extra 30kg (from NR's original 1060kg figure) explained away by the cbm passive target or is it just the newly reported mass of the airlock?
It also looks like the OIGs reporting of D2 unpressurized capabilities are now proven to be factually incorrect based on these numbers. Maybe that's why they chopped off 2 of the fins from the trunk to make it uphill this time.
Note that the actual document (not all pages shown) list the 1090 figure as including the installation hardware (not included is the internal outfitting hardware that is installed after berthing). 1090 is the total combined mass.
I think 1090kg includes all the support straps and other hardware to hold it in the trunk. The additional installation hardware is in the capsule.

https://twitter.com/spacexfleet/status/1333758194456420354 OCISLY is outbound for the CRS-21 mission. You can see the droneship passing by B1049.7 - which returned on Saturday.
JRTI seems to be out of service for maintenance/repair post-Crew1. Technicians were spotted working 24/7 shifts last week onboard.

Minor nitpick. The Centerline Berthing Camera System (CBCS) target needs to be preinstalled for the SSRMS to berth Bishop to node 3. It is flown up unpressurized and has been already been shown installed in the trunk.

https://twitter.com/emrekelly/status/1333886893637898245Hazard area for SpaceX #CRS21 out ahead of tomorrow's weather forecast. Still go for 1139 ET Sat.
Booster (1058) previously launched Demo-2, Anasis-II, and 13th Starlink. Drone ship.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in expedition-grade parkas since it'll be under 75 here.

40% chance of a GO on primary, increases to 80% on secondary.
Combined with high booster recovery risk, a delay seems probable unless things clear up.

Different photo from SpaceX:
*snip tweet*
Remarkable - the trunk only has two fins.

Is it official this capsule has C208 number?
That’s an interesting point. I haven’t been able to find anything official from NASA or SpaceX.

https://spaceflightnow.com/2020/12/03/falcon-9-crs-21-mission-status-center/The Falcon 9 emerged from its hangar Wednesday for the quarter-mile trip up the ramp to pad 39A. Riding a transporter-erector, the rocket arrived at the pad deck Wednesday morning and was raised vertical a short time ago.
SpaceX plans to test-fire the previously-flown booster's nine Merlin main engines Thursday morning ahead of a launch scheduled for 11:39 a.m. EST (1639 GMT) Saturday.

Serial no. C208 has been on the list on Wikipedia for at least the last few months but I don't know the source.

That is the NASA patch, not the SpaceX one.
The SpaceX one will be available once they update their
https://www.spacex.com/launches/ page for CRS-21.
