The Israeli Center for Research on Dutch Jewry published a CD⧉ on which this tune appears.
Raymond Goldstein wrote in the CD booklet:
Though we may presume that niggun was part of the Ashkenazic tradition, there is more than just a hint of the Spanish-Portuguese influence in its lilting melody.
Accidentally, it's interesting to note that in Amsterdam the final Kaddish-Titkabal of Ne'ilah is traditionally sung to the tune of the Kaddish of Sukkot, the reason being that one of the first mitsvot after Yom Kippur is to build a Sukkah.
