There were three models of locomotive ordered but all are classed CBH despite their differences. The models are MP27CN, MP33CN and MP33C. The MP33C locomotives are the standard gauge locomoties and to differentuuate they have been numbered with a leading 1, eg what would be CBH018 is CBH118 and so on.
