The 103 series of the Joban Line
The 103 series was introduced in 1967 on local and rapid services on the DC section of the Joban line (between Ueno and Toride) and on trough services on the Narita line (a branch line connecting the Joban line at Abiko to Chiba on the Sobu Main line).
It replaced older pre-war era rolling stock.
Like other 103 series trainsets at the time (those on the Chuo, Keihin-Tohoku and Yamanote lines) it had one large top mounted headlight and no air condition, however they were rebuilt in the early 1970s.
Trivia:
The last original-styled 103 series to be delivered brand-new before the early 70's project revision.

103 series, later type
In the 1970, with increased passenger traffic on the Joban line, new 103 series formations were introduced, now with air conditioning and more confortable raised cabs.
In the 1990s, a small but unique modification changed the service number indicator (at the left of the headlight) from a roller-blind to a dot-matrix type.
They lasted until 2006, the longest of any 103 series in the Tokyo area, when they were fully replaced by the E231-0 series introduced in 2002.

103-1000 series
The 103-1000 series is a variant built in 1970 for inter-running services on the Chiyoda line, distinguishable by it's front emergency door (a requirement of Japanese law for subway trains).
These however proved problematic, because the Chiyoda line tunnels were designed for the innovative chopper control of the Eidan 6000 series trains, and not for the then-standard resistor control, wich generates heat.
This led to various overheating problems and reliability issues, so JNR quickly replaced them with the 203 series, intrduced in 1982, wich used a chopper control identical to the one on the 201 series.
Being displaced form inter-running services after just a little more than a decade, they were transferred to above-ground local and rapid services, identical to those of the stadard 103 series trainsets. Their front doors were sealed, the analogue ATC equipment removed and they were repainted in the full-body green common to other Joban line trains.
They were retired in 2006, along with the standard type formations of the 103 series.
The 103-1200 series for Tozai Line inter-running services is identical to the 103-1200 series.
Trivia:
Between the mid-80s and the early 90s, some formations had a curious mix of standard and inter-running cars (some repainted, some even still in their original colors):
