Jet 73x Now Using CO-type winglets?

On a 9w 73G right now and noting the above - when did they start retrofitting these?

(They seem larger than the ones they used to use, and *all* of CO's fleet have always had this model of winglets)

A/c appears to be older, but has the interior also refurbished.

Edited To Add: For a while there I thought I was on an AI flight - there was some new-age sitar music playing - wild!

9W has a couple of older 737-700s (with the old blue cloth upholstered seats) which were sourced from MH etc. Those never did have any winglets, so they probably retrofitted those with a winglet kit that CO also uses.

Still saw other 73x's at BOM without the winglets, so it must be a slow conversion...

(But yes, I also do like the music, but it was not expected at all!)
