Industrial locos which formerly worked for the Colombo Port Commission

These all look to be Hunslet industrial locos - can anybody please identify them?

There was an article about them in the Industrial Railway Record dated June 1980 but I am unable to find my copy

Class K1 No.106 - one of the locos used in filming "Bridge on the River Kwai"  - not looking as good as it did in 1980  but still retaining its' numberplate

No.106 is Hunslet Works Number 727 of 1902

All these photos taken at Dematagoda shed on December 15, 2007

Thanks to Richard Gennis for these shots
