There was scope in it moving back to Peterlee for the 206 with one of the baby Solos moving from Peterlee to Deptford for the 593/8N, but this idea was knocked on the head in favour of retaining an MPD for the X36 (with one of Deptford's existing fleet livery Solo being allocated to 593/8N instead). As such, the branding was not pencilled in to be modified until this decision was confirmed.
Once it was confirmed that it was going to stay at Percy Main for the foreseeable future, it was pencilled in to have the branding modified. I believe the revised branding was fitted yesterday - 01/06/2017.

(30 May 2017, 11:27 am)Rapidsnap Inwas about to ask something similar, is 4990 the only vehicle treated thus far.
4990 fitted on 11/05/2017
4976 and 4992 fitted on 30/05/2017
4969 and 5212 fitted on 31/05/2017
4991 and 5213 fitted on 01/06/2017
This means that all of the Scania L94s have now received Black Cats branding, with the Solos left to fit. I would imagine the next batch of buses to be branded would be the Versas moving to Chester-le-Street for the 36, then they'll go back to fitting more Black Cats.
