Does anyone know the percentage of Green Line cars that have been fitted with the GLTPS hardware?

As far as I know it's not tracked anywhere public, but anecdotally I see Type 7s with GLTPS hardware installed pretty frequently now. If I had to guess a percentage I would say around 40% of the Type 7s, but I could be wildly off.
They definitely seem to be focusing their installation efforts on the 7s — I've only seen a couple of Type 8s with the hardware and no Type 9s (though I primarily ride the E so I don't see the 9s much).

I finally caught one of the upgraded Type 8s. They set the electronics cabinet in place of one of the windowless seats next to the level boarding doors.
