Netherlands Government

Netherlands Government, Rotterdam - orange flag, at 1/3 flagheight three equally wide horizontal stripes of red, white and blue.
(I think something went wrong here. The funnel-colors are yellow with a
RWB ribbon; the only funnel like that I found for the Terschelling ship-owner (and later Rotterdam multi-shiponair) Doeksen; AFAIK there is no other houseflag like that...)

The flag is confirmed, though shown with the triband slightly lower so that the red and white only are in upper half, by an article, which is probably in De Blauwe Wimpel, by L.L. von Münching. The date of it appears to be 1960, the pages are 236-238 and it appears that it was used by emigrant ships to and from Indonesia post WW2.
