You could be right there, listening again to the recording , it would seem the guy doing the R/T is just a parrot repeating instructions, (and he sounds Asian.hence my initial thought he was a trainee with an instructor.) Now listening to 07:15 on the initial post video, it could be that the PF has only now visual both "both runways" for the first time , and he made a succesfull landing after that. The variations of speed during the incident would also indicate he was manually flying the whole time and probably misidentifed the airport runways before.
