It sounds like these are, in fact, simply standard machine-readable passports rather than "e-passports".

The new passports, would have an electronic chip containing all personal data and help reduce the procedure at immigration.

My new US passport has that chip. In this case, the E stands for "electronically readable," and shouldn't be confused with any other sort of E-something.
