Just checked wiki, according to them, USN purchased only 6 of the RCB-90’s from Sweden. So it seems there’s a 1:3 chance of the Bahrain video shows the captured boats and possibly crews.
Grapevine would know.

Nice sleuthing..!
And if you look at their live fire drill it seems really improbably that anybody in a Boston Whaler could successfully overwhelm them. One of the sailors says they train every couple of weeks, and they have an M2, M240, and M 134 gatling gun in operation. And gunner's positions have some armor. See them in action here
Of course the why of the surrender may never be known, whether it was some scheme concocted from above, or a need to create a diversion to allow some other operation to succeed.
