Sad but truth- I don't know anything about this plane. It look like on CW-21.

Can it be that CW-22 was an air force version and SNC-1 "Falcon" is the navy version? I no close to nothing either about it.

CW-22 was export version! It was used by the ML in the Netherlands East Indies as a trainer for the CW-21 Interceptor and as a reconnaissance plane during the war against Japanese forces. In total 36 were purchased and 18 of them saw action during the war.

Somewhere I saw information that Japanese also had some samples captured from Netherlands East Indies...

Yep, one CW-21 was captured and flown in Japanese markings! Photos: see Google.
They were published many years ago in Air Enthousiast I believe.
Some Dutch Falcons were also captured. Even in 1946 one of these was photographed in Kalang, Singapore but I have never seen these.
Colour scheme of CW22 was same as for CW-21 Interceptor: a mix of light/medium green and dark green, often described as 'new leaf and old leaf colour'.
