Those new pans are TransTech, according to a bulletin I read. They did test a Schunk, same model that SEPTA is using, but evidently, it did not pass muster with NJT.
I'm hoping to see some Arrows with the new pans during the time I plan to railfan Princeton Junction later this week...

Yep. The Arrow II's were built with Faively pantographs identical to those on all the Silverliners, E44's, E60's, and some Metroliner MU's at the time. Sometime in the early 1990's, NJT replaced the Faiveley pans with Stemmann pans identical to those on the Arrow III's.
