From L'Air 1949,

here is a two-seat shoulder-wing light Dutch Airplane,maybe remained a Project,designed by Mr. Koekebakker in 1949,
powered by one 65 hp Continental Pusher engine,does anyone hear about it before ?.

Interesting. So, some rearranged surplus wartime Piper Cub components and a new fuselage to create a pusher lightplane. Some vague similarities to ir. Henk Koekebakker's wartime design for the low-winged Difoga 421. The latter Koekebakker designed in hiding at Bergen op Zoom for Frits Diepens during WW2 (eventually leading to the Fokker F.25 Promotor).

Around the same time as your lightplane, Henk Koekebakker and Kees van der Eyk designed the one-off KNVvL-491 sailplane. It was built at Bergen op Zoom around 1951 but transported to Ypenburg for its first flight in June 1952. A high landing speed prevented the KNVvL-491 from being considered a complete success.

FWIW, Henk Koekebakker had been at both De Schelde and Pander & Zonen around the same times as Theo Slot.
