However, who's to say that a variant within a class can't have an NX registry, if it's a significant enough change? Personally, I'd put an NX on the first Constitution to have the new engines.

Starfleet could put an NX registry on a variant in a class, but then again, the Yellowstone wasn't much of a change at all. It was just the type of Warp engine fitted to the runabout.

NX beyond prototype means Experimental... so any experimental design could be labeled NX.

That's the standard Runabout specs- so much for "NX".

Um, if that's the standard runabout diagram and it shows NCC as part of the registry, then the chances are very good that the number used is that of the Rio Grande's.

We here the Captain's voice and he doesn't sound like Solok of the T'Kumbra or Shelby from Endeavour (presuming its Shelby from best of both worlds), call me dumb but I always imagined Amizov as having an accent too! (Has anyone else cottoned onto the fact the endeavour was destroyed in first contact? 'Flagship Endeavour to all units', followed by 'Captain, the Admirals ship has been destroyed' Amizov got away at wolf 359 too, poor bloke....)

Um, Shelby had the Sutherland. And Amisov was a captain when he was ever mentioned. And if I recall the dialog correctly, the Endeavour was not the flagship.

Yes but it doesn't state if the Borg encounter with the Endeavour was at Wolf 359... or another time and place like what happened to the Excalibur.

I'm inclined to believe that it's another encounter - it's pretty hokey to assume that ALL the major meetups with the Borg have to involve our heroes on the Enterprise or Voyager.

I agree that it's another encounter. Janeway was going through all the encounters she could find. "Every battle... every schirmish". Or words to that effect.
I'm still not sure what Thrawn's comment had to do with the thread. Do you mean we heard the captain's voice from the Nebula that was chasing the runabout? What does that have to do with Amizov or Shelby?
