So reading the BEA transcript it's quite possible that the junior P2 was in the RHS from takeoff. The captain woke the other (or second) co-pilot by some means and then commented to the junior pilot in the RHS that:"he's going to take my place". i.e. the senior P2 simply replaced the captain in the Left hand seat.
BEA says AP2 was active. PF must have been sitting on the RHS
