All the names mentioned below are definitely of Sinhala, not Tamil origin.

Therefore they would be Luso Sinhalese, not Luso Tamilians. If the author you 
are referring to called them as such, his credibility is in doubt.

One of the Luso - Tamilian descendent is one General Fonseka who as in charge 
of the Sri Lankan Army put a stop to civil war that ranged between Sri Lankans 
and Tamilians. Some Sri Lankan cricketers are possibly of Luso Tamilian descent 
like Aravinda de Silva, Charminda Vaas, Kushal Perera, Kushal Mendis, Agnelo 
Mathews etc.
