Stockton are getting a Yutong Decker (possibly more - given there's a 13 board and a 35 board that currently require high-capacity vehicles due to school loadings) for the Sedgefield College contract run, not the X40/X41 (which, bar one board on a Saturday, deckers can't actually be allocated to now as they interwork with the 6/6A at some points in the day with the low bridges and the height-restricted barriers at Morton Park).
What happens with 19678 19680 19681 is currently unknown - it is known within the depots that Hartlepool's management have put a request in for deckers for the 1s as the afternoon peak journeys from Middlesbrough are leaving the Bus Station full and standing.
