Is there any information as to this rolling stock?

They are incredibly comfortable and quiet although clearly rather dated.

Big ticks for seat comfort legroom and general ambience

The 5xx series (Oostende-Eupen) trains are mostly formed of I11 coaches (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/I11_(spoorwegrijtuig)), frequently alongside with single I10 (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/I10_(spoorwegrijtuig)) and rarely with a single I6 (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/I6_(spoorwegrijtuig)).

The 15xx series (Blankenberge-Genk) trains are either formed of M6 double deckers (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/M6_(spoorwegrijtuig)) or MS96 (EMU with "danish noses" very similar to the I11 coaches).

The 23xx series (Oostende-Brussel Airport via Kortrijk) can drop M6, MS80 and MS08.

The 28xx series (Knokke-Brussel Airport) is either M6 or MS80 with an odd MS96 thrown sometimes.

If you are interested in formations of specific trains, http://www.beluxtrains.net/ has the planned rolling stock for all belgish trains (also of earlier years) and at least the beta of the HyperRail app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.hyperrail.android) is capable of providing realtime information including formation and numbers (but the NMBS data feed is not too reliable).

Must have been I11 hauled stock or similar AM96 EMUs. About 25 years old.
