Pretty certain even diamond wouldn’t have returned vehicles leaving them in the position there in now.

They returned them quite early on. It was mentioned in this and other forums that Diamond send buses back early to First. #1475, #1478, #1480 and #1563 all say about buses returning early.

If Diamond had kept the 2013 Eclipses, it would have provided a capacity improvement or allowed them to send back First buses early depending on how Diamond are coping at the moment around all areas (as bearing in mind Hallmark has the Oxford 250 starting in a week and a half).
