Swedish SD45-2?

See the locomotive in the link.  It was built by NOHAB for Danish State Railways and is now working for an Australian carrier, it has a V-20 inside, model JT30CW-2:

Sort of, the first two batches of DSB's Class MZ locomotives were like SD40s with V16 diesels, the last two batches were built with V20s like the SD45s. With gradually increasing electrification of the primary mainline, plus the purchase of the newer Henschel built Class ME (also EMD powered) the fleet has been mostly dispersed. At last report 8 with the V20 are still active with Railion Scandinavia (successor to DSB Gods) and one with the V16 engine is with DSB . Twenty-six were built with the V16 engine *DSB 1401 -1426) and thirty-five with the V20 (DSB 1427 - 1461).
