789905 - 8 sets (7583-7590)
799900 - 10 sets (7141-7144,7591-7596)
799910 - 10 sets (7145-7154)

869917 - 13 sets (FT36HCW-2 7003-7015)
Note - fleet numbers NOT verified for each order number! Since these are component sets, likely a unit by unit correlation is not even possible. Order numbers for the final batches (73-74-7500's) are not known.
Known to exist on KNR ca. 2003:
7001-7015 FT36HCW-2
7101-7110 GT26CW-2
7111-7120 GT26CW-2 (from 7581-7590 series)
7121-7189 GT26CW-2
7201-7240 GT26CW (from 7557-7596 series)
7301-7383 GT26CW-2
7401-7484 GT26CW-2
7501-7556 GT26CW
7557-7576 GT26CW-2
Production is still continuing. Most recent are 73-74-7500's in 1996-97
A couple of batches were also assembled for customers in Asia, Nigeria also supposedly got 5 Hyundais (2001-2005 – GT26CW-2)
Gabon units are model MP15AC-M #521-522 serials HDRS8598-HDRS8599 (??) built 1983 (EMD o/n 839919)
Iran took delivery of 10 GT26CW's #60.975 to 60.984 and10 GT26CW-2's #60.985 to 60.994 in the late 80's-early 90's. Following EMD order numbers are involved:
839922 (10 GT26CW)
839923 (10 GT26CW)
839925 (10 GT26CW-2)
839929 (10 GT26CW-2)
Hyundai assigned their own serial numbers, but details are very sketchy. Early production used a serial of "HDRS" plus a four digit number consisting of the year and a two digit sequence number (1979-80). The next series had "HDRS" plus the last two digits of the locomotive number (1980). In 1983, the previous format reappeared. In 1986-87 a format of year built plus a 4-digit sequence number was used. Finally in 1990-92, "HDPI" plus year, followed by a dot and a sequence number were employed. It almost seems like nobody knew what they were up to! Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
