This type of armoured car was commonly referred to as an 'overvalwagen' (translates to something like assault vehicle) in Dutch usage. There's a pretty large variety of homebrew and manufacturer designed vehicles that were in use both in the metropole and in the colonies.

AFAIK the Marmon-Herrington was not called 'overvalwagen'. Only the homebrew vehicles were called like that.

''Shortly before the Japanese invasion of the island of Java in 1942 a several South African-built Marmon Herrington armored cars arrived. These second-hand vehicles had previously been used on the African front and arrived unarmed. After KNIL capitulation, many were used as captured equipment by the Japanese.''

'Overvalwagen' can refer to a specific Dutch designed vehicle or collectively to any wheeled, armoured and armed vehicle used by the Dutch military (even today the Dutch police uses 'overvalwagens' for anti riot squads).

Looks kinda small for a Betty (G4M). Plus the framing for the nose glazing is more reminiscent of the Ki-49 Donryu (Helen).

Agreed, some leftovers might were in service with the Badan Keamanan Rakyat(People's Security Force).
