The likely variants are:

• KGC-000: ballistics in both arms, energy in the Right Torso, Missiles in the Left Torso
  
• KGC-0000: ballistics in both arms, energy in the Right Torso, Missiles in the Left Torso
  
• KGC-010: ballistics in both arms, energy in both side-torsos, missiles in both side-torsos

The KGC-000b (ballistics in both arms, energy in the Right Torso, Missiles in the Left Torso) is a SLDF Royals exclusive model; PGI hasn't introduced SLDF Royals variants for any other 'Mechs, so they probably won't do so for the KGC.

The Clanbuster variant (the KGC-001) isn't available until 3052, and the next variant after that (the KGC-005) isn't available until 3062; it is unlikely that PGI would introduce those variants early.

Russ already confirmed here that that segment of the video is not indicative of the scaling of the KGC.

The protector has SLDF written up the legs

And the Ilya is covered with Cameron Stars too, but neither are Star League 'Mechs. The Protector was specifically mentioned as being a homage for Kerensky's custom, in part because MWO lacks snub-nose PPC it sported.

Royals are different again too, at most the Houses knew the Terran Hegemony had state of the art advanced 'Mechs, but SLDF Royal units went to great pains to keep them under wraps and out of all hands but their own, more detailed info on them didn't start coming out until after the Clans, ComStar opening up post-Schism and things like the Hegemony Core being found during the Jihad.
