There were approximately 100 B-1Bs built. Except for the ones which
suffered catastrophic impact with the ground, they are still in service.
Notice the small size of the objects you inquired about compared with
the size of the BUFFs (B-52s); the B-1B is a rather larger aircraft than
those objects.

Correct. They are F/FB-111 "Aardvarks". The F-111 was the fighter-only
version, while the FB-111 was the slightly larger fighter-bomber
version.
