From my records De Lore & Associates are also the registered operator of VH-VOQ, VOR, VUD and may be for more of the aircraft. It could be that REX takes two of these older B738s in preference to the YF* aircraft.
Adding to that is a story in today's SMH that Virgin is in, "advanced discussions to lease eight or nine more Boeing 737s to boost capacity..." There may not enough B738s in storage to satisfy this new demand. How ironic that would be.

My list matches yours, James.
YFE/H/J - WTB
VOT, VUA - MEL
VUB (ex-Tiger) - MEL
VOQ - ASP
VOR, VUD (ex-Tiger) - ASP
VOS - BNE
VH-VOQ, VOR, VOS, VOT, VUA, VUB, VUD, YFE, YFH and YFJ
I also have VH-VUR in WTB but it has been re-registered 2-HVUR
YIW is remaining with VA along with YVC, VUY, VUE and for now VUX (although it is still in Tiger livery)
Cheers.
