Lovely picture. Yes, the paint job is certainly very good. The lack of quality in the Indian-built locos is because of the "cost-cutting" exercise. What the officials do not realize is to cut the cost now is to pay handsomely later.

Wonderful loco and wonderful photo! Now a days lots of WDG-4s are visiting Panvel.

From some angle(neglect the traction) it resembles CSDR. I'm saying w.r.t WDG-4

My guess is that the BOXNs in question are not empty. I think there are iron ore movements from somewhere up from Kulem (forget the name of the place) that go over the ghats and these BOXNs are laden with that. Such wagons look like they are empty since the weight of the ore does not allow complete filling of the wagons. That may be the case they are covered though I really don't think it makes much of a difference where iron ore is concerned. And for all that I've said, these may well be some other dense material. The other BOXN seems to be laden with coal since that will permit piled-high loading. Great snap anyway!
