It may well be from his grandfather in case he was only five years old.

 Certainly an oddity, but just possibly from one of these guys...... Tentara Sukarela Pembela Tanah Air    PETA Indonesian independence troops.

 That is of course the problem! Fakes were being made even while the war was on, the Australian Army being notorious producers of such.
