I wonder how much difference in the comfort level existed between the Indian style and Western style of retiring rooms back then.

This is a 'YP' locomotive.

This looks to possibly be the same loco recently found.

It would be extremely interesting to see a picture or any details of the other locomotive.

I would suggest that this is much more likely to be the remains of a locomotive of the former Dehri-Rohtas Light Railway. It would be No 6 if it is an 0-6-4T but there were similar 0-6-2 t locos.

Compare with my picture taken in 1979 which i have uploaded in the gallery.

Being ex DRLR would also roughly agree with it being described as based at Patna.

This appears to be one of the 0-6-4T locomotives built by W.G Bagnall for Ahmadpur-Katwa or Burdwan-Katwa sections of McLeods Railway.
If the owner of this locomotive is willing to give it away, it can be restored for placing on a pedestal at the very least. If there is interest, please contact me through the gallery address.

Not really!
This is the boiler number whereas locomotives were usually identified by their maker number or running number.
