Original Message:   Thinking about it today....

I would be inclined to remove all the 102 beads from consideration as being Dutch. I think the color of 102a is too close to turquoise-blue—a color I haven't seen among any actual wound Dutch beads. Also, note that 102f is a black bead—another color not seen among Dutch beads, but pretty common among later Central European furnace-wound beads. In the new edition, there will be fewer beads in this section; and the photographs will be of beads I documented in Holland, or from the Liese necklace.
