A lot of information was posted to this forum by a Brazilian forum member "pedrop"

He actually posted the drawings in this post:

But the drawings have disappeared, sadly...

There is an excellent side on photo of a modified SD45-2 on this post which should help, and there are other threads with detail photos.

Well 861 is a DDM45, and the other 2 are BB40 units. But from what I have been told the DDM45 units are planned to have BB trucks installed.
