Joshua and Dwight,
The holster pictured is a British 1937 Pattern for the Enfield Revolver. Hundreds of thousands of these hosters were made 39-45. It's identical to the one I store my Enfield in, they ain't pretty but can't kill 'em. I would say that the Holster was either left behind by the Brits or Aussies at the end of the war, or given by the Brits to the Dutch and found it's way into Indonesian Army property via them. It should have three brass clips or loops on the back, the two vertical clips are to attach to the belt, the single horizontal clip allows the holster to be attached below the ammunition pouch for those who like the "low slung" look or have too much other gear hanging off their belts. Nice gear, with plenty of history.
