Maybe so, but there are two schools of thought that could see the SLT livery remain as is.

Firstly, bear in mind D&G don't own SLT outright, so they might want to keep the two fleets separate. However, the larger combined fleet of D&G / Midland would prove useful for short term loans.

Secondly, with Midland, the D&G livery was introduced as part of a mass fleet renewal as Choice (as it was) had a fleet of mainly step-entry buses. Not too long after, Choice was relaunched as Midland and both Midland and D&G received the new "group" livery.

Whereas Midland benefited from the new livery as it created a new, more noticeable brand, SLT doesn't need that. People recognise the livery, they know the company as the "yellow buses". All it needs is for the repaints to recommence to get the fleet into a single, unified livery.
