Is there a reliable way to tell if an SD75I is the new release with the "fast motor" versus the older release with the Faulhauber? It doesn't appear AZL bothered to change the part number 
, but I was hoping the packaging might be different or some other distinguishing feature without disassembling the loco. (e.g. trying to buy one off eBay)
While I understand the "advantages" of the Faulhauber version, I wouldn't normally be THAT concerned about having it, other than the fact that I have another one (a stripped CN SD75I, to be BNSF Grinstein Executive scheme) that I want to pair up with the BNSF Heritage-II SD75I version and would prefer they match. They'll have decoders, but I still would prefer they be at least in the same stratosphere spec-wise. They're going to be my coal-haulers primarily, so having the slower top end speed is fine...they will "pretend to be" SD70MAC's.
Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide.
