I’m currently going through traditional Army National Guard OCS. I haven’t seen any obtained college credits so far on my Joint Services Transcript however.

Honestly, you have to ask your college. Your JST will show your military schools. It is up to your college to translate that into college credit. For some OBVIOUS parallels, JST may recommend a college similarity, but it is still up to the college to decide whether or not they grant credit, and what credit they will grant.
For instance: I went to Human Intelligence Collector school. My college at the time chose to grant me credit for "applied psychology." When I transferred, my new college took that applied psych credit and allowed it to fulfill a intro to psych slot in the core curriculum. Either school could have said that the training didn't meet their specific credentialing requirements, and tje first school could have given me nothing, the second could have given me only elective transfer credit.
At the end of the day, the school giving you credit has to make thw call foe themselves as to what standard you have met and whether that standard fulfills the school's requirements.

Many states’ Army NG allow enlistment as an 09S Officer Candidate if you have at least 90 college credits.

Effective November 30, 2010, applicants interested in attending federal OCS must have a baccalaureate degree or higher. Waivers for individuals without a four-year degree, but with at least 90 non-duplicate credit hours toward a degree, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
So, you will only be commissioned in the States National Guard you are attending. You will not be Federally commissioned.
