It is a Block 52+ machine, with PW engines (PW F100-229 version, featuring carbon fiber exhaust petals).
There could be some (subtle) difference, depending on the fact that these aircraft will operate in a desertic environment, but it is the same model used by the Polish AF...

Another Block is #60, concerning the UAE machines, which is not reported there.
If the Block is a multiple of 10, the engine is GE, otherwise it is PW.

Well, the aircraft depicted in the photo is 08-8001... there are 24 aircrafts, so I guess they are going on up to 08-0024!
