The ones with center doors are 1995-1999 vintage. The ones without center doors are 1984 vintage. The M-1A cars are 1967-9 vintage. PS- Haha beat you Otto.
Sorry, no. Those cars only serve the very top of the Harlem line were it is not electrified. They are more common on the Hudson line. I do not know what those cars are called. I believe they predate even the M1 cars.
These cars serve all parts of MN's H/H/NH lines. For example there are 2-3 pairs of GCT-North White Plains trains which are regularly assigned this equipment - see train 538 any day of the week for example.
The center door cars are part of the Shoreliner II and III fleet(related to Comet III and IV coaches for NJT). The Shoreliner I(related to NJT's Comet II) had no center doors and were the first push-pull coaches to operate on Metro North with the retired FL9 locos and current Genesis locos.
Not all the FL-9s are retired yet. MN wishes - but nothing else seems to hold up long enough to allow their permanent retirement - same goes for the M-1As.

Nope. These cars debuted in the mid 80's.

The cars w/center doors are from a later order and the center doors are to allow for faster loading/unloading at stations.
