Thanks Jan,
I think it is 14 line so that would fit your determination. Where did you find this, the NvPH does not say anything abiut proofs, as far as I could see.

Hi Jansimon,
My information is from "Catalogus van de Proeven van Nederland, Ned. Indie, Curacao, Suriname" by J.L. van Dieten. (My edition is dated 1966, there are newer editions available.)
It lists 12 colour proofs of this value: all possible combinations of blue, pale brown, lilac or black ink, with grey, orange, or green paper.
