Attached are a couple of pics at Rijeka (Croatia) harbour last Monday. I'm in the dark and nothing came up on t'interweb - I hope we have a forum expert!

The red loco, running along the quayside, is a 2132 class. Nothing unusual about that one. The mystery is the other shot...

A pair of freshly-uncrated EMD 6-axle diesels, numbers RML001 and RML002, in sparkling-new Riversdale livery. The left-hand loco is still being lowered, by crane, onto its bogies.

They're similar - but not identical - to Croatian Railways EMD class 2063. The livery is close to Australia's 'Riversdale Mining Limited' corporate colours; but I've not found any evidence of a trade between RML and Croatian Railways.

Anyone, anywhere, any wiser? Thanks in advance.

Short article on Railway Gazette that they are six locos for Riversdale Mining (Mozambique) being built new in Croatia.
