As I see, they are nearly the same as ALP-46.

So why did 46s come before 45s?

 

As I recal, in a city of Cologne, Germany LTRs numbered 50xx came before 45xx, actually while 45xx underwent tiest drives

46's are straight electrics. 45's are the new technology dual modes. Bombardier's system of designation is the reason for this:

ALP-4 axle 6 MW power

ALP-4 axle 5 MW Dual Power
