I think a good guess would be --- Ju 52, with Wright Cyclones or PW Wasps

The export version of the Dornier Do-24 flying boat was the Do-24K and a number were sold to the Netherlands prior to WWII. They were powered by the Wright R-1820 "Cyclone " radials as were those of the German Navy that were not Jumo deisel powered. Although similar, a different dash number engine was used on the Dutch airplanes.
Most were in the Dutch possessions in the Pacific when the Japanese invaded and several were strafed and sunk at their moorings with high loss of civilian life a day after evacuating civilians from Dutch territories.
The Dutch referred to them as X-boats and the five or so survivors were turned over to the RAAF when Dutch resistance collapsed. No.41 squadron RAAF operated them until lack of spares forced their retirement.
