Hounslow got H20 up to H37 plus oddities like the H98.

The H91 follows the 391 route most of the way between Hammersmith and
the Chiswick Roundabout, which has always seemed to me to be more than
just coincidence. The other oddities may have similar similarities,
or maybe Hounslow just ran out of numbers and took 90-99 as well.

IIRC the 391 and H91 used to be the 91. They were split and renumbered.
The current 91 used to be the 14A when it was split away from the old 14
which ran Hornsey Rise to Putney. It was chopped in two with the top bit
being converted to one person operation and then later being renumbered,
rerouted and tendered.

IIRC the H98 used to be the 98 long before the 98 was a Routemaster
route in Central London which was the old number 8 before it.
