Vickers Dutch contract

Hi to all the forum members .
I've been doing some reading on the Vickers Ltd , Dutch Lugers . I don't own one but I had a chance to examine one belonging to another collector , recently , so got me interested and they do turn up in this part of the world occasionaly.
Most of the references suggest the guns were assembled and proofed by Vickers , from parts supplied by DWM .
But then I saw this one at Simpson USA , catalogue No. V02 , with the following ; " Recently discovered documents prove that Vickers manufactured these guns from scratch in 1920 "
Is that now the accepted facts , can anyone shed any more light on this ?
regards , Mark
