The names of the 5 carden-Loyd carriers are: Panter, Lynx, Jaguar, Poema and Luipaard.
Apart from the list on the previous mentioned website the Dutch army posessed one Renault FT-17 tank to test the "inundaties" e.g. purposely flooded land to stop tanks.
Also the KRA (Korps Rijdende Artillerie, comparable with the RHA) had 2 Erhardt armoured cars with a 3,7 cm gun.
