I'm curious as to whether the kelvin type or the walker class came first? Can't find launch dates for either of them, and the shenzhou is considered old in 2248.
Shenzhou launch date?

- Start date
I would guess 2210s, 2220s or 2230s.
Someone posted a close-up of the plaque awhile ago (or was it a fan-made mock-up?0, which probably had a meaningless stardate on it somewhere.
The USS Kelvin was launched in 2225, as per her dedication plaque in the Star Trek Ency.

She still has lateral vector transporters like the NX-01, in contrast to the Connie, whose design dates originally to "about forty years" before TOS per The Making of Star Trek (1968), i.e. mid 2220s by today's parlance. (Of course, there's nothing to say the Connie didn't originally have those as well, since we never saw her configuration at launch. If we go by changes between first pilot, second pilot, and series proper—despite them all getting mixed together in FX throughout the latter—then it seems the Enterprise at least did receive periodic upgrades, even if other ships didn't.)

My guess is June 2nd.
Add nacelles and you might have something.
No, no, no... BC means Before Chakotay.
My people have a story about the days before Chakoteh. I remember my father told me..
That gave me the Chuckles.
In that case, 1312 years before Chakotay you'd need nacelles for one of these bad boys.

They're also not round enough.

It's a alternate timeline Romulan junk. They stole it from the Chinese. Notice the secret motor on the end? Romulan's are sneaky like that. And those are solar panels, not oars.
NX-01 had one transporter, and it was supposed to be for cargo, but I think it was the vertical-type, just with one big pad.She still has lateral vector transporters like the NX-01, in contrast to the Connie, whose design dates originally to "about forty years" before TOS per The Making of Star Trek (1968), i.e. mid 2220s by today's parlance.

From "Broken Bow" (ENT):
TRAVIS: I heard this platform's been approved for bio-transport.
REED: I presume you mean fruits and vegetables.
TRAVIS: I mean armory officers and helmsmen.
REED: I don't think I'm quite ready to have my molecules compressed into a data stream.
TRAVIS: They claim it's safe.
At launch it looked like this:
It was upgraded in the fourth season, and in "Daedalus" (ENT) we see behind its walls:
(Those circular glass panels were actually original pieces from the TOS transporter set floor that had also been re-used on TNG as well, IIRC. Will have to look for a source on that to verify, though.)

They both used fresnel spotlight lenses but I dont know if the NX-01 lenses are the same ones. I think they are smaller. But basically the same type lens. I know STC did use acryllic copies of the original TOS fresnel lenses, and there' some video where you can see the size of them.
Shenzhou launch date? No idea
Shenzhou lunch date? Sure but only if it's paying.

Thanks! What I had remembered reading was this bit about the TNG transporter in Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens' The Art Of Star Trek, pg. 78:
"More than just design elements from the original Enterprise turned up in the Enterprise-D. The glass floor disks from the original transporter-room set were installed in the ceiling of the new transporter. (And those same disks have found a home in the U.S.S. Voyager's transporter room today.)"
Always thought that was pretty dang cool. Don't know why I never twigged to the fact of what they actually were.
Memory Alpha has more details, but doesn't specifically say as to whether the ENT ones were those same originals or not, though it seems a fair bet:
