Indeed it is a meter gauge locomotive. BBCIR No. 98 was a B class 0-4-4 tank locomotive built by Dubs in 1874. Earlier examples were built by Naysmth Wilson. The location of this picture could be Ajmer works. However it was not uncommon for Amroli or Dahod to repair locomotives other than broad gauge.

Incidentally, locomotives of this class were also used to work fixed formation short trains(Motor Trains) around Delhi and Agra area.

The picture is surely not Parel Workshop. The loco is metre gauge P class 0-4-4T built by Nasmyth, Wilson and Co, Manchester in 1873. The heightened doors leading to the running plate was specialty of this loco
