They are Train Miniature.
TM imported a drive from Japan and also had drives that used Athearn components.

On the top and bottom units I can kind of make out what looks like four holes in the bottom of the fuel tank. That always sticks out to me as the Athearn motor mounts.

The Mashima motor is an upgrade over a stock Athearn. Looks like maybe the unpowered had a motor in it once too.
