The AFNE ships were:

Libertardor General Jose de San Martin

The Henry Robb ships were:
Salta
Ju-juy II

A Pickersgill built SD14 derivative which was an SD18, the Armadale, was the only Sunderland built SD 14 or derivative fitted with a Doxford engine. Doxfords Engine works was on the south side of the river Wear, Pickersgills was directly opposite on the north side and George Clarks engine works was the next establishment down river to Pickersgills.
Hostilities between Britain and Argentina resulted in a lengthy time between delivery of the Doxford engines to Argentina and their installation into the AFNE ships. We referred to all of these ships as the Salta Class.
Apologies for any incorrect spelling of ship names.
