Bom dia.
Penso que na verdade eles foram "oportunamente canibalizados", sendo que a VEM deve repor as partes retiradas, pois as anvs não pertencem a esta.
O VMH está enrolado nesse processo da NV, mas todos os 73S e 727 foram sale-lease-back, ou seja, eram da antiga VRG e foram vendidos para uma empresa de leasing (PLM) e automaticamente arrendados. Isto ocorreu para que a VRG fizesse caixa naquele momento.
Finbalmente, vejam o que encontrei no Google sobre o VMH e outros 73S:
