Has anyone seen a WDM3 (not a subclass of WDM3)?

Even WDM1 photos are there on internet, WDM3 photos are only there in IRFCA (1 image).

There are some publications that have the pictures, but they are not available for free.
International Railway journal, 1971-72
Jane's world railways, 1971-72
RDSO REPORT,1971
All these publications have some pictures of the locomotive,

but due to copyright issues the images are not available online. You can read some portions on Google books though.
These locos operated mostly on the GTL-AJJ, MAS-JTJ and the branches around GTL, not really a rail fanning hotspot. In addition, only 8 of these locos were imported, so they were exceptionally rare.
I remember, Mani Vijay sir or someone else mentioned them in one of their trip reports on IRFCA. They may be having pics or videos of these locos.

Finally! Thanks to Mani Vijay sir, here is a capture of the WDM3 in it's original livery (I think red with a yellow band) at Gooty shed. Just found this in a video he posted on his youtube channel 3 months ago. You can pause the video at the 16:50 mark when his train is leaving Gooty station after an unscheduled halt. You can actually see two WDM3 locos. One is quite clear in the frame while a second one is partly hidden in the shadows behind the first one.
