Pirelli has released new soft and super soft compounds for R5 cars in the last two gravel rounds. Maybe another new tyre for tarmac ?

I think the plan is to use it this season, if it worked.

There is still no change to homologations list (since 2/8). Watch it before the rally as it usually is published a few days before the rally. (I guess it needs to be updated before scrutineering). That said even if there are changes it doesn't mean team will use them. Before Finland Citroen homologated engine changes but first used them in Germany.

Citroen used all jokers for 2019 already before rally Finland, so no new aero until 2020. according to Budar interview..

Does this prohibit new aero too?
I’m not arguing, but this WRC article indicates they were testing it with a view to using it in Spain:

Given the timing it looks like they want to try the new aero on fast gravel before deciding to homologate it and want to make it in time for Spain.

Tänak on tarmac, gravel spec on tarmac and on gravel for Spain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL8-vI50ucg

that gravel spec on tarmac is fun to watch

on most of the shots i see they have german spec rims, on some they have some other, like in the beginning of the video when they put helmets on. Also, when they do the gravel spec on tarmac driving, they have the old rear wing.
