There were 5 TDH3301, 303-307, built September 1970; and 9 TDH3302N, 328-336, built September 1973. They lasted until the original South LRT line opened May 25, 1981.

Only the 30 foot Fishbowls had this particular scheme AFAIK. A select few of the Brill trolleys also received a unique stripe scheme into the post-1970 CT era but it was a bit different from this one.
