I would assume that these are working on the broad gauge (5'3") lines.  Anything on the meter gauge would probably have eight motors.

 

Yeah these are for the 1600mm lines. Progress builds a BB 70ACe for the NG lines. No 80 is offered I believe.

Looks like the 80 series have found Brazil as their new home to operate. Interesting modifications to their units. Check out this 80ACe directly below testing on MRS
