Just to add to this, the Fox5/6 stop bar markings have been moved further east, and the equipment storage areas have been modified accordingly. I didn't have a good look, but I presume the apron roadway either will be or has been realigned slightly to the east behind Bay F5/6 as well to accommodate the wing span of the A330.
The A330 will use the current alignment on Bay 40 that B737's and E-Jets use. The swing line from the Dom-3 centreline looks to have been altered to allow for a wider turn onto the bay, and a new lead-in line from Twy Golf has been added to keep the A330's off Bravo-4 which is now restricted to 36m wingspan aircraft.
Make sense?
