Because identifying ships from Exegol is a job that never ends, there was a ship I couldn't identify that you only see it's front in the main shot. @battleofexegol on Instagram showed a different angle of that ship and it is indeed a freighter that appeared in The Clone Wars.

A new Mon Calamari cruiser, the MC110 Heavy Cruiser. Based on one of the blurry ships in the Hosnian Prime fleet from The Force Awakens. The ship is smaller than a MC Crusier, no hangar, with a wide array of front turrets and thrusters to spearhead quick strikes.

The first time I saw The Last Jedi, the moment where we see the turbolasers arc like a cannonball, I smiled and thought to myself "This choice was made by someone who knows what Star Wars should be instead of by someone limiting themselves by what Star Wars had been." I loved it.
