I typed up a small summary on a.net, thought I'd crosspost it here as well
Took out the suspected "dead" orders and had a look at which aircraft have already been spotted as assembled:
A319:
UFO - 6
A320:
UFO - 7
Lufthansa - 4 (1 supposedly delivered yesterday *MSN8951*, 3x spotted, 8911, 9052 and 9058, order completed)
Gecas - 2 (//Edit: Looking at expected production list, 2 allocated airlines not in this list, 1x Starflyer and 1x VivaAir Colombia, order complete?)
Peach - 2 (2x spotted 8892 and 9081, order completed)
Aero K - 1
Air Asia - 1
Private - 1
CASC - 1
A321:
Delta - 44
Wizz Air - 2 (2x spotted, 8943 and 8950, order completed)
Looking at the website I used aibfamily.flights (I know not an official source), I noticed a thing.
Of the allocated MSNs all A320's have an expected French registration for their test flights and for the A321 after the two Wizz Air, they all have a F- reg allocated to the BFM site (F-WZMx).
Could XFW be the first of the Airbus sites to transition to 100% neo production, followed by TLS and leave TSN and BFM to finish the ceo's for their respective parts of the world given that most of the outstanding orders are UFO which are suspected to be Chinese orders and 40+ Delta Airlines to be delivered all from BFM...
Little update based on a spottinglog from Toulouse at digitalairliners.com:

Aero K - 1 (MSN9037 spotted at Air France Maintenance hangar in all white with F-WTAM reg. *Testreg was F-WWIU*, suggests delivery from Airbus production standpoint and then storage? Order complete)
Air Asia - 1 (MSN9130 spotted in full AirAsia colors, order complete)
Private - 1
CASC - 1
A321:
Delta - 44
I deleted all the orders that I marked as "order complete" in my previous post, if the UFO, CASC (Chinese lessor) and "private" orders are all Chinese it leaves all CEO orders for the TSN and BFM assembly lines, transitioning the EU lines in TLS and XFW to full NEO production :
