The OBR estimates net payments under the financial settlement of €18.5bn (£16.4bn) in 2019 and 2020, during the transition, followed by net payments of €7.6bn in 2021, €5.8bn (2022) €3.1bn (2023) and €1.7bn (2024) before falling away to €0.2bn in 2028. The liabilities, net of assets, that then remain to be paid amount to a total of €2.7bn over the period 2021–45.”

It doesn’t actually say that those are transitional costs, just that the payments are due in 2019 and 2020.
The £39 billion includes the 20 months of transition at the going annual rate. If there is no transition, there is nothing due for that period. The timing of payments that are due would then be rescheduled to keep us honest. Obvs.
