PCCs Return to Philadelphia

I'm a couple of weeks late on this, but SEPTA has put its heavily rebuilt PCC-II cars back into regular service on Route 15 for the first time since the line was bustituted at the start of 2020. Some, maybe most - but I don't think all - of the 2300-series cars have undergone a major in-kind overhaul and are now back in service. The trouble is, I'm not sure which cars are still being rebuilt or have yet to be rebuilt. Anyone have an updated fleet status report? Here's what I know, or at least think I know:

2322, 2324, 2327, 2328, 2332, 2333, 2337 - overhauled, in service

2320, 2321, 2325, 2329, 2330, 2331, 2334, 2335 - not sure whether these have been overhauled or whether they are in service

2323, 2326, 2336 - currently undergoing overhaul?
