Hi,
I reckon if you contact both Belgian and Dutch Army Museums you will get a definite answer as to the lineage of your gun. I have had occasion to contact both Museums and found them both very helpful. Regardless of the origin of your musket it would appear it is still based on the French 1777 Charleville and therefore the bayonet information would still be appropriate.
Regards,
Norman.
