Previously inducted vessels of the class had CRN-91:I don't see a CRN-91 gun on these ships. Atleast wiki says it should have them.
Different class boats. I think this is the reason.Previously inducted vessels of the class had CRN-91:

Cost cutting perhaps?
Well, outwardly the boats look identical.Different class boats. I think this is the reason.
NEW DELHI: Coast Guard DIG B K Loshali, who had triggered a major controversy saying that he had ordered a suspicious Pakistani boat to be blown up off Gujarat, is facing dismissal from service.
According to a top Coast Guard official, Loshali will stand trial at the Coast Guard Court now that a Board of Inquiry(BoI) has indicted him for his remark.
....
The BoI was completed after two extensions as it had to record the statements of several people. All Coast Guard officers and sailors and the Larson & Toubro employees, who were present at the event when the DIG made his remarks, were examined as part of the inquiry. Loshali was the chief guest at the event in Surat. Then the Coast Guard Chief of Staff (NorthWest), he was transferred to the force’s Gandhinagar regional headquarters, a day after he made the comment.
Mumbai: Mumbai Police on Thursday registered an attempt to murder case under IPC Section 307 after a fisherman was shot at by an Indian Navy Vessel.
The incident took place in May when a fisherman was injured after he was shot at by an Immediate Support Vessel of Indian Navy which was on a coastal security patrol in the offshore development area at the Bombay High.
The fishermen association has alleged that the Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) was responsible for the incident.
However, Navy said that while providing protection to the oil rig, they had spotted a fishing boat and despite repeated warnings the boat did not move out of the prohibited area.
PRO, Indian Navy, Captain DK Sharma said, “The Navy is very much aware of it, we are doing a BOI (Board of Inquiry), all the facts will come out soon. We immediately provided first aid, rescued the man by helicopter & took him to hospital. We did open fire as warning shot, one of bullets ricocheted and hit the fisherman, it wasn't intentional.”
“They were advised to pick up their nets and leave, all boats did follow our instructions except for one boat. Incident happened in Bombay High area on 17th, few fishermen came in ODA area which is not supposed to be used by mariners,” he added.
I am assuming you haven't spent time with them. Fishermen are risk takers by nature and by profession, it gets into their DNA. It's rare for them to live beyond 50 for a reason.WTF ...
Indian Fishermen across the country are proving to be a security nuisance - be it in Gujarat, Palk Bay or Bombay. They place themselves into situations where they are liable to get shot, killed, or taken prisoner. And then cry hoarse on the gross injustices piled on to them.
This is unfair to the security personnel who are prevented from doing their jobs. If the fisherman turned out to be an explosive laden boat taking down an oil rig - who would be blamed for the security lapse?

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on Thursday intercepted a dhow in the Gulf of Kutchoff Gujarat coast with nine persons on board and seized a stock of foreigncigarettes worth Rs one crore.
All those onboard the dhow, named MSV Safina Al Meraj, were Indian nationals. The dhow was taken to Salaya harbour in Jamnagar district, said inspector general Kuldip Singh Sheoran, commander Coast Guard Region (North-West).
The ICG also recovered two Thuraya sets (satellite phones).
"On searching the vessel, the ICG personnel found two cartons of 'Davidoff', each carton containing ten thousand cigarettes, and 50 cartons of Gudang Gadam, which contain 14,400 cigarettes each," said Sheoran.
The search of the vessel was still on with officers of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and other agencies taking part.
According to a statement from Defence PRO, intelligence about a suspicious vessel which had sailed from Sharjah was received on June 18, following which the ICG boat 'Sangram' intercepted it on Thursday, despite the rough seas.
The dhow was damaged and water was leaking inside, so it was escorted to Salaya harbour.
