Mysterious 460 supplied to Indochina Railways by Mitsui in 1916

We are a small group of expats living in Vietnam and are working on a website about the history of the railways of Indochina & Vietnam and are of course struggling with incomplete locomotive rosters and general lack of documentation not to mention actual "specimens" etc. etc.

One of the mysteries is a meter gauge (very light) 460 locomotive (3 pcs ) that were supplied to CF Indochine by Mitsui company in 1916.
(None of the locomotives survived and so far no photo found. )

There were a lot similarish 460s sold to different Brazilian railways by Baldwin in those times, so maybe this one could be related ?

Would anybody have a Baldwin delivery list for for 1916 ?

Would appreciate any info.

And you are of course welcome to explore the biggest ever
Indochina/Vietnam collection of railway related photos and infos on
