What are these?

A vendor on eBay has been posting these photos for sale and identifying them as BL2 locomotives.  Probably not!

The question is, what are they?

They are Alco RS-1's rebuilt right after WWII for the Alaska Railroad with streamlined  carbodies. The  engines were orginally built for the US Army. There were both cab and booster variations.
