According to Hol Wagner, the engines were 900 hp 201A, the Winton numbering system. Whether or not they were eventually replaced with 567s, I do not know but would not be surprised. 

 

I will also demur on the EA.  These were known at the time and have been numerously most authoritatively identified as EAs, even as  the quite different B&0s had the same designation. The E referred to Eighteen Hundred, and the production was A.  Confusing,  yes; but that is the way it was when all these locomotives in the primordial soup of diesel-dom were custom made.
