The bigger one fits to XB description, but I didn't know that GIP also employed them. Smaller one is definitely Fairy Queen.
But These two were definitely not employed in the construction site of the Rashtrapati Bhawan or Parliament House. Polished painted wheels of XB doesn't confirm the identity of a construction worker. Parliament House design was brought in 1912 but the real construction began in 1921. And our Fairy Queen, who served only in the eastern part of the EIR and was withdrawn from service in 1909, was plinthed at Howrah until 1943. It was accorded with heritage status in 1972, the year when India was celebrating the silver Jubilee of its Independence, and was restored to exhibit at National Rail Museum.
The picture, in my opinion, was from 1972 when these locomotives were brought to the national Capital for an exhibiton, as part of the 25th year celebration.

Circa 2011 The Highway linking Porbandar to Silichar has been numbered as NH-27 and hence the milestone
