I think so. I looked at ATL-LHR-ATL and the taxes/fees are $168.20 on DL.

I clicked on the taxes/fees link in the dummy booking, here is the key difference on the DL flights ex-US vs ex-UK (I think):

International Surcharges - Carrier-imposed surcharges pursuant to applicable international tariff filings International YQ/YR up to $260* - each way (*= approx. amount)
