I've seen these units around the internet for years but I have not found an explanation for them.

PRSX 6404 (Slug) and 6408 (GP40-2) leave me with a variety of questions:
Who rebuilt them? I'd guess Progress but the haphazardness of the units suggests a "homemade" rebuild to me.
Why were the cabs rebuilt on both units?
Why did the slug receive a Gen 1 DB unit?
Why did the slug receive a primer coat but the GP40-2 is in full and complete CN garb?
Any answers are much appreciated.

Re: Strange Locos
Both are originally DT&I engines. 6404 was a GP40 and 6408 is a 40-2.
