Hi, What you have are sheets 13 and 15 of the topographical map of Belgium scale 1:40 000. The Royal library of Belgium has got many editions of this map (black and white, color and bistre). The oldest is in black and white and was made by the Dépot de la guerre between 1860 and 1883; two others are the first and second color edition by the Institut géographique militaire (same institute as the former but with another name) of the 1930s and 1940s. The one which comes closest to your description has been updated in 1913. We also have the 1915 edition by the War office. If you send me a picture of the maps, I can try to identify them more precisely.
