I have these locomotives, one of them I don't know the exact model and I tried to share this on a different board but the subject quickly got off-topic (quicker than usual)

are all 4 of these GP40-2's?

I can't tell what kind the Santa Fe one is, it looks similar but it has some unique characteristics so its hard to tell

It might be better, in the future, to post closeup pictures from the side and top - this should simplify identification.
 
Without better pictures, the 5707 is hard to tell exactly. It looks like the Mehano unit which is marketed as a SD-40, but in Santa Fe world, 5707 was a SD45-2. This unit is not a SD45-2. SD40-2's had longer porches than the unit pictured appears to have.

Mehano did a SD40-2 .I know this for a fact as I own one. for a single power truck it runs surprizingly well.
