TDE over the W in brackets, all in a circle is a post indepedence mark of the Indian Army.
The SAU-CIE marks are believed to be Belgian and found on arms issued to colonial troops in Africa.
Interesting combination

The brass tag may also be dutch-indonesian. I'd need a picture to say either way. As stated, the roundel is a post-1951 marking applied at Ishapore in India.
