Three-roll puzzle (new)

Ray Kershaw's three-roll puzzle (from the opening position, get all your checkers to your side of the board with fewest pips, opponent cooperating), to which Daniel Murphy provided the best solution, inspired me to compose this little puzzle:
Starting from the position above, each side played three times, and Blue got hit twice; nevertheless, in the resulting position -- in which there is no outfield blot -- he is ahead in the pipcount.
White 163
Blue 167
The new position is shown below, except only the White checkers are visible. The object of the puzzle is to fill in the rest of the board below: What is Blue's exact position?
White 134
Fill in Blue's checkers Less than 134
