EADI and EHSI stand for Electronic Attitude Display Indication and Electronic HSI, in their original inception they were electronic versions of their steam gauge counterparts.
The original EADI did not have a speed tape, hence the analogue velocimetre and all other items of the traditional instrument T. The speed tape became an option only later.
I understand that a PFD has all the necessary information in one single display.

My Company and another large freight operator has re-fitted all our 767 cockpits with new Flat Panel displays, similar to the 767-400

Some useless piece of trivia: 757/767/737CL are all first generation EFIS. They don't have a PFD/ND, they have a EADI/EHSI instead (Electronic ADI, Electronic HSI).
It's intereting to me how even 757 pilots refer to the EADI/EHSI as PFD/ND. Either they know the correct term is EADI but say PFD instead because they think others won't know what they're talking about, or they don't know it's called an EADI. Never sure which is true.

Perhaps they were talking about these?

I have this interesting 2002 brochure by Boeing on the 767 avionics/flight deck, but could not attach it directly. So I created a Dropbox view/download link instead.
Please note the PDF is almost 16 MB large.

I think many might find it interesting,

On the '73 Classics I flew, PM had to adjust the Flex thrust manually on take-off.
Does anyone have a copy of the Boeing, (or any), 767 cockpit set-up and flight phase flows etc.?
Is there a tiller on both sides or LHS only on the '76?

Not sure about 764 displays, but a company I worked for retrofitted most if not all 757/767 with so-called
Flat Panels: 2 big screens on each side of the cockpit with the latest and greatest of electronic displays,
probably 12-13 years ago,
No doubt the screens were full of information, but it seemed more like over-load:

No idea if that was 764 displays, or some generic in-house retro-job.

FedEx had placed a huge order for 767 Freighters, but was concerned that over the ~30+ years they planned to operate them, CRTs would become unavailable. So they had someone create a mod to replace the CRTs and the associated interface hardware with flat panel LCD displays. Initially, they'd fly away brand new 767 Freighters, remove the CRT hardware and replace it with flat panels, and ship the CRT hardware back to Everett where it would be installed on another new 767... Realizing how incredibly inefficient this was, Boeing was able to jump through some certification hoops that allowed the STC flat panel displays to be incorporated on the production line - and at some point new production 767 Freighters had the flat panel displays as-built.
That was a real eye opener for those of us responsible for cert - we wondered how we could show compliance for an STC installation done by another company - but it turns out there was an FAA approved process that basically said if the STC had FAA approval, it wasn't our problem. Given how sloppy some of the STCs I was familiar with were done and certified, I was far from comfortable with this (and I was far from alone), but the FAA said it was OK and I wasn't about to contradict the FAA...
