So most importantly, do we yet know if the new 2020 Daylight locomotives match the 2005 Lionel aluminum Daylight cars or not?

No, we don't know yet - or at least I don't as mine hasn't even shipped yet, and there's a shortage of pictures, which however might be remedied this weekend by another poster on this thread.

However, meanwhile, if you want to try to make a comparison, two days ago the Instagram account known as AmericanOGauge had a close-up still and a short video of the VL Daylight 4449. I don't think I can post the still photo here as I am not sure exactly who it belongs to, but the colors shown in it look pretty similar to me to Lionel's last Daylight 4449, which I think was issued around 2016. I don't think that was, or these VL models will be, a very close match for the 2005 cars, but won't be so different as to make anyone who is not a total purist wince.
