Lovely to hear from you and that steel guitar is alive in South Africa. From my knowledge, Wout had a very serious war injury to his arm, almost precluded him from playing guitar again, he lived later and recorded in Hampshire/Surrey or Sussex in the UK. He did many shows over the BBC, I am sure Baz would remember. He was unique in that he played steel guitar on stage with his own backing tracks.

Sounds like you have some of his albums, great. Although I found his style a little too sweet, one of my favourites is his rendering of krontjong music (a hybrid of Indonesian and Dutch influences), including the very popular " Bengawan Solo". I am afraid I do not know which guitar he played but from memory of one of his LP covers, it might have been a Rickenbacker bakelite.
