738 are all sCO. The oldest one being a 1998 build and the youngest one being a 2011 build.

Yes sometimes flights will be operated by an sCO bird, other times an sUA bird. Also for the most part the swaps (739ER at least) try to at least remain on the side which originally was to operate the flight. Example if a sCO 739ER went tech they try to swap it out for another sCO 739ER and if an sUA 739ER went tech they try to swap it out for another sUA 739ER now this isn't always the case and sometimes an sCO 739ER will swap out for an sUA 739ER and vice versa.
