One thing that I think is important to discuss - the 717s have the seats that are the same as the 739/75D/etc. without the PTV. However on the 320 there is no gray plastic so to speak and it has the leather from the seat instead, like 738s without PTVs.
I'd bet those seats came from 738s or other a/c.
they aren't seats from other aircraft.

no its because originally DL was going to replace the majority of the 320 fleet but since Airbus has upped the cycle limit they are going to hang around longer.
I would still be shocked if all 69 get AVOD when its all said and done. I figure the second batch that came with the 319s will get it only. JMO

I have been on a flight similar to this (albeit short) between MSP-MSN and indeed I ended up in the last row next to a lav. I did however submit a complaint and received 2,500 miles for the inconvenience. Perhaps that's the only upside to involuntary seat change on the 320/319 swaps.

yeah that is exactly what happened.
equipment swaps happen all the time. it sucks during mod times but just something that you gotta deal with.
