After this incident, the operator issued a change in procedure for the FO to call 'on centre line' prior to commencing the take off roll. What I find amusing is that I'm pretty sure the crew thought they were on centre line before they commenced the take off roll so even if that procedure had've been in place at the time of this incident, wouldn't they have called 'on centre line' anyway?

These reactive procedures really aren't thought out prior to issue. All is does is add another thing for crews to get wrong in cyclics. Any competent pilot with good situational awareness is going to line up properly on the centre line and check it prior to opening up the levers.
