You could try asking CASA for its opinion on whether "maximum seat configuration" for an aircraft means how it happens to be configured, in fact, for a particular flight, or instead means how the aircraft
could be configured as a matter of principle, irrespective of how that aircraft is configured in fact from time to time.
Let us know if you get answer.
