New Design for Launcherone?

Interesting, the previous design had only a wing and no tail. It used thrust vectoring for stability and control.

The new one has a tail. There also seems to be some kind of low aspect ratio wing glove.
I expect these are there to either
1. Make the first stage recoverable, so it needs to be able to glide without rocket thrust.
2. They needed a larger nose for larger satellites. They need a tail to stabilize the rocket.
 
In case the website changes:
