Yes, its true. And we have pictures to prove it. Check out some very interesting pictures of YDM/4 locomotives and passenger cars in Tanzania, by kind courtesy of Andrew Jones and Phil Wormald of the World Diesel Loco list. Some basic details of location etc. have been mentioned in the captions.

It is interesting to note that some of the YDM/4s have had their cab roofs raised.

WDM/2 look-alikes in Peru

Indian locomotives  in far away Peru!

No, not really. The popular WDM/2 Alco design found favor in Peru as well, apart from India. Here are some pictures of locomotives with the WDM/2 design at work in Peru. The locomotives are almost identical in appearance to our beloved WDM/2 as well, barring the rail gauge and the fitment of additional headlights.

So go ahead, and enjoy!! Click on thumbnails to enlarge.
