The air force bit is incorrect. Someone mistook the 1928 KOL marking for an airforce marking, which it wasn't.

Most KNIL pistol orders went to KNIL ground forces and only a few ended up with KNIL airforce crews.

If you want to know more about the KNIL contract, get 'The Dutch Luger' by Martens & De Vries. Brilliant book, based on archive material.
