This video from Coulson's site seems to do a good job of summing up their C-130 fleet. Interestingly there is a comment that they have depleted the world market of C-130s, hence the move to 737 based aircraft.

Coulson's C-130 tanker Bomber 131 started life in the TACAMO program and had chin windows, but was used by NASA for a while and had its chin windows blanked off at some point as they were nonexistent in NASA's livery. Bomber 134 wasn't mentioned but may have a similar history.
