I don't see why they'd ditch Reeta as the touchscreen analyst, especially given her now higher profile, and doubt Clive or Laura would be especially suited to an analysis role.
I suspect there will also be some other presenters doing 'features', though would be personally overjoyed if they drop the Vine VR segments. Given the likely outcome of the election, it seems unlikely there will be much uncertainty over the result by the morning, allowing a secondary team to take over at Breakfast, giving the primary team rest before heading to Downing Street and covering the new PM.
It's certainly not my dream team, but it is the obvious one and you can see how it all broadly fits together.
I assume the curved screen area would see the infills as per LK's Sunday programme, to allow for a seated interview area. We've also already seen the extensions/additions which make the 'mega desk'. It'll also be good to see the touchscreen in use, given that it's rarely used in that way for the national news these days.
One interesting thing to note is that when studio B got it's current set it was mentioned (in press releases?) that it can support AR. I don't particularly recall seeing much use of AR in studio B to date. Maybe that could be utilised instead of the old virtual reality green screen stuff.
