Questions on Lionel 2023 Amtrak E9 [E8]

I'm very intrigued about the 2023 Lionel E9's in the latest catalog. Each AA unit has unique details.

However, on unit #422, will there be a Single or Double light housing on the nose?

According to RR picture archives, the unit in it's pointless arrow scheme shows a single nose light housing. but on the Phase II rebuild, the unit sports a double light housing with the upper light housing becoming a FUGLY botched job. This picture says it all!

The other unit #410 is more standard

Considering that head light configuration is sometimes part of their road-name specific features(although not listed as so for this loco) and levels of adherence to being prototypical are can vary.

The Mr muffins run from 2019 I asked for dual headlights on both & got them. But who knows what Lionel will do
