Hello, I read here about USGI and UK canteen cups and systems, but does such a thing also exists for the Dutch canteens?

There was a good comparison thread on all three here.

US, UK, Dutch canteen sets compared?
I’m new to the site, but noticed folks had some questions regarding Crusader (Mk1 and Mk2), US and Dutch canteens and cups, etc. I happen to be in possession of each of these. I’m currently about to head in to work, but if you would like to post some questions you’d like answered or compared...

I've read it, but to me it seems that there are not much possibilities for a Dutch "pot stove" (is that what you call them?)There was a good comparison thread on all three here.

From what I remember of the discussion, the best solution to the lack of stove, was to modify a second dutch mug to use as a stove. Mug sits in stove, USGI/ Nalgene water bottle sits in mug and all fit in the US pouch.
There is a folding Esbit one, pretty much like the German one (might be the same).
If you are going with solid fuel then the little fold up Ti ones are quite stable and are tiny. Sits inside the small Wildo foldacup.
And then use heavy Alu foil as a wind screen.
I’m not sure if the Belgian army stove will stack 100%. Next thing to try!
The knock off miltec USGI stoves bend really easily but for the money you are better off cutting one from a can or similar if you want something that stacks snug.

I'm asking for a Dutch set, because I have some Dutch canisters and mugs, I don't see why I need to search for a USGI one?
If there exists a stove and a lid for it?
Ten seconds of googling produced this. No stoves.

I used one before there was such a thing as a British metal mug. We all did because they were easier to get that the US version 1980’s and before. Excellent quality
The Dutch mugs you mean? yes they are good, but how did you use them? together with the British canteen?
I don't think they fit together, do they?
? I don't see where? mine are the Dutch model with the canvas cover with the brass hooks to hook on a M-37 canvas belt with all the eyelets.
you have the cover, inox mug and plastic canteen, all a very tight fit.

We did fit the mug in the 58 pattern pouch but on the top of the bottle with a push, no, not the best fit but pouches did close
