Pretty close to Lionel Legacy near as I can tell.

Hard to say, I haven't seen the MTH ones in person. I have the Century Club PRR Sharks as well, same tank as the Legacy from what I see.

All of the 3-rail shark models to date have been RF-16's.

While they all have been advertised as RF-16s, I always thought the Lionel versions were closer in configuration to the DR-4-4-15 with the Sharknose body (PRR RF-15 or BF-4 before 1-1-50). Notice the fuel filler location is higher and just behind the front trucks, and the forward sand filler in front of the door. See diagrams below.

Anyway, since my PRR layout is set in late 40s I call Lionel’s version a RF-15.
