Correct. None of SP's S2s and S4s had MU, and I never saw the S6s that had MU MUed with anything other than another S6.
In the second photo, the units (and the tank car) are on what was called the "House Track," which was the locomotive servicing track at Ozol. Locomotives were fueled, etc., inspected, and light repairs were made there, and there was a concrete pit for access underneath a locomotive. All gone now.
