Looks to me like the raised air intake grills are a thin raised grill, the side raised number boards are shorter to make room for the grills. The detail for the grills maybe decals. The cutout in the body for the the foot cutout  looks like a decal. Hopefully both models are prototypes of models to come and Kato gets all the details right. :)  Rich

I do see that these Gs aren't standard issue Kato items and are Kobo items, so my initial concerns are lessened considerably.  The intakes do appear to be an etched add-on with decals applied.  The American Railroads scheme appears to be accurate.  But the Congressional scheme has numerous errors:  the font is wrong on the railroad name and on the engine number are wrong; the color of the broadband stripe and number board teardrops is too orange; the shadow on the keystone should be maroon; the keystone appears to be too stout.
