This might be something important, but both 8347 and 8332 had malfunctioning fare boxes which would not take paper dollars.  Since 103 is closer to SS, the reason for the bus swapping could lie there.  If CTA did not have fully functioning fare boxes for the 8325s, it would make sense to swap them for the fare boxes in the 6400s.  This could be the case because there is no other explanation for 103 to put their sticker in the windshield of 8236 through 8247 if they knew that the buses would be there for only four days.  And for the past few days CTA has been having issues with many buses because the run number boxes show run numbers 992 or 999 or the run number from when the bus was in service a few hours earlier.

8245 just passed me at Jefferson park with a “3” sticker and run number is 1992

8343, 8344, 8345, and 8349 are still running on FG routes. (8349 is running on 86 Narragansett/Ridgeland, which is in my vista, a route which doesn't need new[er] buses.)

8342 is on Route #111.

None of the 8325’s have a F or 3 sticker on them so gives us a hint that the 8325’s might come back to FG and join the rest of the ones at FG 

That's a negative sir 8325-42 all have 3 stickers on there for the exception of 8339. I drove 8338 and 25 so far so they definitely have 3 stickers on them.
