Kanonneerboot K1-K3, 1938

These ships were Dutch gunboats captured before they were completed. The Germans took over construction and completed them. The drawings here depict K3 and an indeterminate one labelled "ontwerp", which I think is just Dutch for "design". At any rate, the "ontwerp" differs from the finished vessels.

Notice the different armament (40mm guns on ontwerp with an extra rangefinder aft, as opposed to 37mm/20mm on K3) and language ("Schaal" vs "Masstab" to connote scale).

German-navy.de has more information on the K3.
