Origin/meaning

I have no information on the background of these arms. Any information is welcome !

The arms in Traversier (1842)	The arms in the Café Sanka album +/- 1932
The arms on a tobacco card by Laurens

The arms in a manuscript with the cities of Flanders in 1562. The arms are canting showing a hare (haas) in trousers (broek) for the Dutch name Hazebroek which, however, has noting to do with trousers (broek means trousers, but here it means marshland)
