The ATSF units fell into an EMC category of 1800HP "B-B" diesel-electrics all done around the same time. It LOOKS from the design and size that they were the predecessors to the E unit passenger diesels and also had dual engines in each unit. The units had cabs at both ends. I believe CB&Q also had one with a single-cab to pull one of the Zephyrs. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMC_1800_hp_B-B for the full article.
The one in question for ATSF. Note that though they seemed to travel as a pair they were also double-ended.
For reasons I can’t really explain, I think I’d be in for a SF version. I sort of like boxy engines, and this definitely qualifies, but I find the “streamlined” look of the truck covers to be very interesting.
