Considering the A359 are not that 'old' (2015- 2020, ie the interior has not been written off), my guess is the remaining 4 A359 will get the new interior and we may see a retro fit of the A330. And perhaps new seat covers and some interior fix (foils for the walls) for the 16 A359 currently in service.
They did retrofit A340 with new business seats (expect virgin and french old ladies) couple years ago. Ok, maybe more like 6 years ago but still.
