Have you read the book? If not, spoilers ahead ohoy! It is implied in the book that they are indeed Ak-Baba. Rye and Sonia see monstrous, vulture-like birds caged in the Harbour in the alternative future Dorne, and most fans agree that these are supposed to be Ak-Baba. It is an alternative future though, so perhaps they are something else, maybe a subspecies created by the Shadow Lord, or perhaps young of the Ak-Baba, but I'd go with the first explanation. However I could ask Marc McBride when I eventually write my mail to him.
