2 versions again.... NMF26U and NMF26V.
Are we to assume that the "V" version is for the Verizon variant?

Not necessarily. We'll have to wait until Google adds additional information.
Per Verizon, They're pushing out U (https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/google-pixel-xl-update/)
Damn two versions! Which one should be downloaded, for Indian models?
I've updated my SDK, V is failing to flash for me...

Fastboot. Just says can't update bootloader and radio and quits. Sideload just flashed but said an error with the cache partition was detected but did complete.
So V is for non Verizon units?

Totally up to you. My bootloader is unlocked so I can switch versions without wiping data easily. If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to do this too.

FWIW: both "U" and "V" have the same radio. But we still don't know what markets each update is intended for.
"U" is apparently for Verizon.

FWIW, I just finished flashing the "V" version via fastboot flash-all command with removing the -W flag on my unlocked VZw version and everything booted up just fine with the updated version.
I'm curious as to whether or not anything other than the security update is included

2BQK5 the 2 stands for bootloader each # or letter has a meaning. And once you take this update there is no going back.

You're fine just download the ota update
You can flash any firmware you want it doesn't matter which carrier.
Same thing applies to ota updates it just requires a source version/baseband of BQK5

Currently though Team MT's servers are having problems, so you might not be able to download the firmware files.

That's what I want to know. I don't think that only me get this.
I didnt find any information about that update. Now we will wait for other users who get that.
If it was me, I'd reflash last stock for your variant (no more root) and try to OTA update as it's worth it to go to Android 10 !!!!
My RETUS and AMZ River XT1962-1 did not get this notification even though I checked just now. It's said August 1, 2019 Security Patch level was last update.
