Power of both of them is same .The difference is my train departed Habibganj 10-15 mins late whereas my mother’s train departed on time .
2nd difference is of the clearance also

At 120 kmph MPS, it arrived HBJ 5 min BT at an mind blowing average of 87kmph. Today also it arrived HBJ 13 min late, at an average of 85kmph. So everything doesn't depend on MPS and loco link. Clearance is also a major factor.

Yes clearance also matters a lot .
In my journey in YPR duronto .It arrived habibganj 40 mins early

Yes, though 79 kmph can be easily maintained at 130 kmph MPS, but 87 kmph avg at 120kmph MPS is mind blowing, that too over a distance of 700km.
There are various differences mentioned by rail fans and no mention of it is made in any publicly accessible IR documents.
Some say that the 'E' suffix was given to indicate that the loco is air-braked. Another possible difference is in the location of the Dynamic braking resistors, which were bottom mounted in the initial models and then moved to the top of loco (these locos apparently got the 'E' suffix, but now all WAP-4 locos have the DBR opening out on the roof of the loco). Whatever the difference might be, it is only a minor difference in construction and not any major difference in speed/performance.
