One other note: no train EVER used a brown R sign. All the trains equipped with them had them installed AFTER the route was eliminated (except for the R38, but they never ran on this line). All diamond R's used yellow signage to the bitter end.

You're correct in noting that the diamond R and M virtually became one route after the May 24th N/R terminal swap. Until then the yellow and brown R's exchanged trains, afterwards the "brown" R had to have it's own fleet, so every northbound brown R was a turned southbound brown R from Metropolitan Ave. Very few morning M trains ran to Bay Parkway in these days, the M's were almost all put-ins from CI.
