Looks a lot like KNIL. They obviously weren't made for the early Dutch grip safety type Lugers, but they might be Geweermakersschool replacement grips made for the later 1928 Dutch Navy contract. Checkering for a DWM artillery should be about 1mm or roughly 20 lpi. These grips are almost twice as coarse, being around 12-13 lpi. Also, the pattern (slant of the checkering lines with respect to the frame) is closer to the pre-1903 pattern than the style that would be correct for a 1917. If I were a betting man, I would wager the grips are Dutch.
