M1: 1968
M2: 1972
M3: 1984
M4: 1987
M5: (single version of M3 designed for Metro-North, but was not pursued)
M6: 1993
M7: 1999
M8: 2006
M9: 2013
So it is possible the numbering sequence has nothing to do with where they run, but when they were ordered. You can say that the numbers do alternate, but it wouldn't be appropriate to say why they alternate, since they could have just numbered in order and the odd/even thing showed up by coincidence. We will have to see if either side "skips" and order sometime in the future and what they do to the numbering then.
