does anyone know where I can get hold of a dutch army issue canteen cup stove? like the one in Radix lecti's pic below or what ever they get issued currently?
As far as I know, they currently get a small Esbit stove issued. Also heard some stories about self heating meals. Some guys carry a Pocket Rocket (or similar) when on exercise.
I had one of those stoves YEARS ago (think I donated it to the firstborn's kit charity) and IIRC got it from SOF military but it's not on their website anymore

That's a bumer I really want to get my hands on one of them
I have one of them. I bought it at a military fair last year. The guy selling them may have been French or Belgium.
It is made of aluminium with stainless (?) rods. I don't think it was made specifically for the Dutch mug.
On the base it is stamped;
MMT
1987
TOURNUS
Hope this helps.
