I'm assuming these three will be 737s as well? Any idea of where they're coming from?

-8ZL is now painted in the usual REX livery with the more earthy orange paint on the tail.

As has previously been mentioned the next 3 frames are coming from SQ and at this stage it’s 9V-MGC, D and E, these are coming up for their 10year lease.
