Are they in MU? MU connections only on the cab ends?

Another of your most interesting shortline photos.
Units have different trucks. #105 has ARR Type A, and #101 has Blunt.

105 is an S4, 101 is an S2. Both have 1000 hp 539T engine. Trucks are the spotting feature.

These are yellow and green. They certainly looked sharp when they were freshly painted.

Another distinctive feature of FP&E's Alcos was the Wabco E-2B-1 airhorn. Wabco's multichime offerings, created by bolting three varieties of their single-honkers to a common manifold, never gained much traction with the big roads, but the few photos I've seen of FP&E's diesels suggest they used E-2B-1's exclusively. m1bprr has posted videos demonstrating the distinctive sound of an E-2B-1 in his collection:
