Sounds plausible, however doesn't explain why the MYP has the new lights.

Any Model Y with new projector headlights in the USA?

Because it's a premium trim and since the MYP has the more powerful rear motor as does the M3P it makes sense to use all the same parts they can share since presumably they don't make near as many of the P cars as they do the LR AWD.
That sounds like pure speculation to me. But anyway most of this thread is exactly that

Not that everything Tesla does makes the most sense but with the information we know, that scenario seems the most likely.
I may have uncovered ground truth related to all of this headlight drama: apparently this picture was taken last week - at grave personal risk - from inside the "Old Model Y Headlights Tent" in Fremont. Only Elon, Kimbal, Franz, and a couple of Boston Dynamics robot dogs are allowed inside. Looks like you LR MY holdouts might be waiting for quite a while. 
It sounded like they were reviewing the legislation
The way things are selling, should have them next week!I may have uncovered ground truth related to all of this headlight drama: apparently this picture was taken last week - at grave personal risk - from inside the "Old Model Y Headlights Tent" in Fremont.

I'm doing my part and will be picking up my LR MY tomorrow.
All of you who are holding out for the new 
Doing my part too, on Tuesday. Installed my wall connector last night.I'm doing my part and will be picking up my LR MY tomorrow.improvedheadlights can thank me for reducing Tesla's enormous inventory of the ancient, ineffective, and completely unsafe first generation MY headlights by one set. Who knows - I may completely throw caution to the wind and actually drive my new car AT NIGHT!
For the sake of everyone who decided to keep waiting, I hope so! But after I get mine I don’t want to know.

I'm perfectly content getting my car next week, but if, 2 weeks from now, Tesla rolls out the new headlights on the MY long range 7 seater I swear to gawd..........

If that is your thinking, don't buy a Tesla. There is always something newer and better coming out and it doesn't always coincide with a new model year. If you have FOMO Tesla is not the brand to buy. Hence, when you are ready to buy, buy and don't worry about little do dads here and there.
Thanks! For those of us who are driving around with the old headlights, we need all the luck we can get!
As I'm not one to leave much to chance, I stopped by Harbor Fright on my way to the Tesla store and picked up a couple of LED "helper" lights for my inaugural drive home, just in case I got caught out after sunset. Safety first, of course, and let's face it - those first generation headlights simply cannot be trusted, and I knew I wouldn't be able to follow a MYP or a M3 with their amazingly inoperative matrix LED technology all the way home.
Lots of truckers going the opposite direction on the highway were honking at me - I'm not sure why.

Musk said be the end of the first quarter. I would think April builds going forward would have them.I'm perfectly content getting my car next week, but if, 2 weeks from now, Tesla rolls out the new headlights on the MY long range 7 seater I swear to gawd..........
It doesn't make sense to have some set date. Once they've finished consuming the existing inventory, the next batch will use the new inventory.
If there's something I've realized about Tesla's supply chain management, it's that JIT isn't really a thing for them.
I think there will be some delay. Won’t be April 1st unless they hold them in the lot while they get rid of existing inventory builds.
Have they done that with the other changes? I still see inventory with the old console, and no heated steering.
Do I risk losing the $5K CVAP grant if I wait for the new headlights since it's only valid until May 9th? Short and sweet answer is I'll get whatever is in my destiny. Are the new headlights worth $5K? Not to me they're not. So I've pulled my delivery date forward. Now awaiting a VIN and delivery date.
