1674 and 1786 seem to have CNG intake issues, as they are ridiculously slow in the lower gears, but not so bad once they get into fourth.
Also, 1740 hasn't been healthy for years now, due to what I suspect is also transmission issues. I recall noticing this in 2016, with it being in similar condition today. 1767 is not really fit for service in it's current condition either in my opinion.
But at the end of the day, they're still better to ride than almost any 1900/1000 series Scania.

Have some of these been shifted there to account for SL withdrawals?

There are currently 4 Artics out of service at the moment(presumably awaiting engine parts)--1141,1151,1850(St Agnes) and 1101(Morphettville).
Probably just as well there have been 5 additional O-Bahn Artics introduced into service recently.

MAN NL 202 CNG 1755 and 1756 will transfer from Mile End Depot to Morphettville Depot.
