Indeed.

With head swaps, you could probably use the Eureka Australians as proxies. Empress do suitable heads in M1 helmets as well as British MkIII/IV turtle helmets, of which contemporary photos show tye odd one in use by Dutch troops. Other options might include the bodies of Warlord Brits, with US helmets and the 8th Army arms, to give you British weapons with rolled shirt sleeved arms. If you fancy a bit more shaving, filing and converting then you could probably use their USMC as donor bodies with weapons coming from the British boxes.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Might be of interest as it shows the variety of uniforms.

The old www.overvalwagen.com website was a treasure-trove of Dutch East Indies photos and while mainly geared toward the 1930s and WW2, there was some post-WW2 stuff in there.  It's tragically now defunct, but might be archived somewhere?

It seems as if this is a situation where you either choose to ignore the reality and just play a game, or see it for what it was, and label it ungameable.

There are some snapshots on archieve.org's 'Wayback Machine'.
