From what I understand there is hardly any post-war Netherlands military paperwork left. This subject certainly needs more research!
From "counting rivets" (researching photos and studying surviving examples), the C15TAs without bins appear in the Netherlands, the UK, Austria (IIRC this one came from the UK), Malaya and others. I'll make an overview of what I could find. It seems most of these were assembled post-war, but more importantly the hull sides were not drilled to fit the bins an different rear mud guards were fitted which indicates a factory modification rather than an field modification.
