The Royal Asiatic Society, in the Baker Collection, has a pencil sketch version (08.134) of the left image. There are pencil annnotations throughout the page. Annotated along the right side of the page: "Two Pieces of Statuary at Dieng." Annotated below the image: "25 Sept JK." Annotated above the image: "G. Prauw. Java. No. 42 [19 was crossed out]". It appears the Jan Knops may have done the pencil sketch. The sketch appears on the same page as 08.133 (RAS), which is a pencil sketch version of the right image in 1939,0311,0.8.16.
