There is another late war version which has wheel's on the base plate allowing it to be towed behind a jeep. This type remained in British Army service untill the 1960's.

Would that be this one?

I believe the Dutch army retained stocks untill quite recently.

As far as I know, the Dutch Army has the 120-mm Brandt mortar. In 2004 it was phased out from regular infantry units, but remains in service with the Air Mobile Brigade and Marines. A number of surplus mortars were sold to Belgium in 2004.
If you have a specific reference to the 4.2-inch mortar in Dutch Army reserve, I'd like to know more details as I have an Army contact and can see if and when they were removed from stock (and to try a few are kept from being scrapped!).
