Is it me, or has anyone else noticed that on the MTH website for the NS Heritage Units they have reversed the types of locomotives used? All the ES44AC's are listed as SD70ACe's and vice versa. Has MTH corrected this or not?

No, not seeing what you describe in the MTH Product Locator.
It might depend on your product locator "heritage" query. MTH did produce fantasy SD70Ace "heritages" in Pennsylvania and Southern (as well as NYC, C&O and Santa Fe) in 2010 v2. The NS Heritage ES44 Pennsylvania and Southern models began in 2012 v2 and the Penn again in a second run 2015 v2. Perhaps your query included both models like in these examples?

In doing my query on the MTH Website, I selected "Diesel/Electric Locomotives", then a few boxes down entered "Heritage Units". The listing for the Pennsylvania HU, Cab 8102 is shown as a ES44AC. In real life, it is an SD70ACe. The cab numbers on the units seem to be correct, it's just that the ES units are shown as SD70's, and the SD70's are shown as ES.
NS 8102, Pennsylvania HU, is indeed an ES44AC in real life.
The 1065 to 1074 series are SD70Ace's ; 8025, 8098 to 8105,and 8114 are ES44AC's. You can verify this on the Dash9.com page.
Thanks to all. I must have labelled them wrong when I wrote them down. Shows I still have a lot to learn! Now to try to find some of these wonderful units.
