The top one is actually based on the Class 158, there is no Class 183.

As far as I know, this DMU was built in the UK to pretty much the same design as the British Class 158, and then shipped out to the Far East and modified there. You can tell as it's still in the original livery that the 158s were outshopped in:

BREL developed a variation of the Class 158 for the Thai National Railway
The unit also required modified bogies for the meter gauge
The cab end was also redesigned, including the roof, gangway, and couplings
The unit also has additional air conditioning, which thanks to the gauge are placed under the body
Finally, the units do not have power plug doors, but instead have traditional swing bolt doors, which swing into the carriage
Units do not operate in fixed formation, with sets changed regularly from two to four cars per set, all are the same design
