Public Review Issue # 59 concerning danda and double danda doesn't mention the Limbu script specifically.
The double danda, at least, is used in the Limbu script. See the exhibit on page 12 of N2410.PDF. It's also listed in the Limbu punctuation shown on page 16.
Some notes:
The Limbu double danda shows little visual differentiation from the Devanagari double danda - it seems shorter, but it's difficult to separate font-related from script related effects here.
If the text sample is typical, it would seem that it is used quite frequently in ordinary text in Limbu, while dandas in other scripts were claimed to be used only in special contexts.
