In that experiment, the following engines scored a total of 36,5 points in 5*8=40 games starting from the position above: J5 (8), F7 (7,5) and CT 14, H732, Sh532 (7 each). They lost 3,5/40 points with white. Also, not every white win was a direct result of the starting advantage. Quickest winner was Shredder 5.32 which needed 20 moves less than Junior 5 (average).
