Had #1 already picked the new #9?

Looking at the agents of SPECTRE in the meeting at the begging of the film, the odd number agents are at #1's right, with the even numbered agents on his left. The lowest numbered agents are closest to #1 and the higher numbered agents are furthest from him. For example the one furthest from #1 on his right is #11.
The numbers are off by one on #1's right side. There is an additional agent between #7 and #9, AND he is in a gray suit, while all the other agents are in black suits.
So, had #1 already picked the new #9 before the meeting? He (#1) said, "I have satisfied myself that one of you is clearly guilty of embezzlement." So he knew he would be frying #9. This "seems" to be the only explanation for the extra man in the room.
You ideas?

Wow, now I have to look at this again.

Makes sense. Blofeld would definitely be the kind of man to plan that far ahead.
