The Model KNIL was a mask that was issued to the KNIL (Koninklijk Nederlandsch-Indisch Leger, Royal Netherlands East Indies Army). It had a hose and a large filter. It somewhat looks like the Model H. Almost nothing is known about this mask, and the only known surviving ones are stored in Dutch museums The rectangle looking little box below the hose most likely houses the exhale valve. It was issued as part of the standard kit to KNIL soldiers, somewhere in the 1930s.
