According to the book "A Field Guide to Trains", by Gerald Foster, the only difference between the E8 and the E9 was in the headlight glass. It was recessed on the E8 and flush with the body on the E9. The only other difference would be if the locomotives had been altered by their road. For instance, a particular road might have modified their E9s to have recessed headlight glass. Does it make it an E8? No, since it's registered as an E9, that's what it will always be.
