*Spoilers* U.S.S. Franklin Design?

I tend to think it is the helm of the Franklin.

You are right. It is possible. The shuttlecraft's cockpit is different. But shuttlecraft cockpit in Star Trek 2009 was different too.

I am on the fence with this as it stands.

On the one hand it does has some attractive lines but looking too closely causes pain. I hope the pylons and the bridge dome/support area went though some further revisions. I wonder if the coloring represents Vulcan influence?
 
Different for each leaked piece of concept art, to help the SWAT teams home in?

Depending on the story, I could see lil' Franklin as a candidate for a non-NCC registry for a change.

Maybe an older ship sold to private owners, but wouldn't that make it an S.S. designation as well?
 
Trek has been a bit inconsistent there (see the Raven). But the designation could really be just about anything previously unseen - say, RV Franklin, NAR-1743 or whatnot.

Well if it's not registered, shouldn't it at least have a "registration applied for" card posted on it in a prominent spot?

I'm really keen to know the story of this ship.

I bet you are. You should have the mods add 'USS' to your user name until Beyond hits theaters!
