Dutch KM lanyard loops

Hi,

Remember the thread about the Dutch / Portugese model lanyard loop?

I recently acquired another one in the Netherlands. This one is identical to the one pictured in that thread, but has one very important extra detail:

The phrase 'made in england' is visible on the leather strip that attaches to the hook.

This strengthens me to believe the lanyard loops are Dutch Koninklijke Marine versions, that were based upon the Portugese design, but appearantly were ordered and produced in the United Kingdom...

Any UK citizens that can shed light on the matter?
