You realize that any one can label a picture anything? That's the 2020 Iron paint. If HD is breaking their own rules and keeping the same paint for Sportsters, then it appears identical to the 2021.

That doesn't seem to be a problem for me to solve?

I do realize that the label can be added as anything. I'm looking at how likely the whole scenario is, not just one picture. You can come up with your own odds, for sure.

I didn't see that rule posted anywhere. Maybe you can link the reference so I can review it and not make that mistake in the future?

Harley themselves labeled it a 2021. Whether it ends up being a paint scheme offered will be answered in less than a month.
