The rest should be as follows:
X4F: 'Sugar Glider'
X4G: 'Tasmanian Devil' (replacing YQW)
X4H: 'Wedge-Tailed Eagle'
X4I: 'Whale Shark'
X4J: 'Crimson Rosella'
X4K: 'Echidna'

I heard that X4E would be replacing YQW, must’ve changed.

I mean with regards to the name, as YQW is named 'The Tassie Devil'. I can see where the confusion came from though.

I don't suppose anyone knows the MSNs yet?

Other than that X4E is 55312 (which has previously been stated in this thread) I don't unfortunately.

I'd heard the same, that X4E was going to have a special livery for Tasmania effectively replacing YQW in that role. Perhaps that was incorrect and it's X4G instead, as doing said special livery on X4E and naming X4G 'Tasmanian Devil' wouldn't make much sense.

It is entirely possible, however I've been looking at the list given by Qantas on their website and noting that B, C and D have been named in order and assumed the rest would be so. I could be 100% wrong as well.
