The engines are modern GE ones. From the outside they have facades covering them so that they appear to be original Junkers or BMW, I forget which

The modern GE ones are J85's same as the T38 and F5 but derated (to much power) the original were Junkers Jumo 004

The J-85 was also used on C-123K aircraft in Vietnam. It was a four-engined assault transport, two R-2800 recips and two J-85's outboard for short-field takeoffs.
