Exclamation Nice T16 pics...but help identify Dutch AT Gun

I hope someone can help identify the 37mm AT that is behind the T16 in this picture.

It (the gun) was made by the National Forge and Ordnance Co. of Irvine, PA. It fires the standard US 37mm Anti-tank gun ammunition. On the left side of the Breech Shield is a Brass Plaque with the Royal Crest of the Netherlands/Dutch (?). We know of one other gun, and it, and its accompanying limber, is in Australia. We have been told that they were made for the Netherlands/Dutch East Indies Army and that they could quickly be removed from their carriages for installation into light tanks. Any information is appreciated.

Some additional pictures are at:
