I don't know their numbers exactly, but it they were approximately 9125-9159??? Since I grew up in The Bronx I had never seen them when they were brand new. The first time I saw them was around 1980 and they had already been painted white. I have seen one with the 8V-71 engine - I think it was 9158. They had some differences from their local sisters. Instead of the typical blue high-backed seats they had the regular foward facing seats that were thinly padded. They also had a tan or beige interior and the seats were orange (I think!). They also had 2-piece destination signs on both the front and side. In the early 1980's many of them were transferred to 100 Street depot and at least one (9130) went to Kingsbridge where they operated in local service.
