May be wrong but I think the E400MMCs may not have been intended for the X84/X85 originally, think they were ordered for other routes but changes and cuts during COVID left them free to be deployed elsewhere, so think they made the best of a bad situation with them at the time by upgrading the X84/X85 and bringing it into the Xlines brand in the process.
I think the rumours at the time might have been the X9/X10 B5s were intended to go into the X84/X85?
