This looks a little weird to me - is it correct?

When the DEI fell, there were a number of aircraft the Dutch had ordered that were delivered too late. The Dutch DB-7Bs were among them. The Australians took over this order when it was delivered. I believe the RAAF got some more later, but their initial stocks came from the Dutch order.
There is one or two USAAF units that can upgrade to Dutch B-25s because they did take over some Dutch B-25s that were in Australia en route to Java when the DEI fell.
