The Americans surely will finish some of the Lexingtons while the British will maybe scrap some of the old ones to build Hoods sisters.

Or would they attempt to alter the treaty later to allow for 16" guns which they already have tested?

Well so far we have 4 players who would like some changes made so I think its a very good possibility that a change will happen.

Is not hard to try and guess this one. Netherlands places (always has done it) staying power over weapons. As you know all the BBs and BCs currently in commission in the Dutch navy prioritize armor over weapons, and only the just started Utrechts will be armed with weapons of 15''.
So is just natural to think that, if in the future there are talks held to put amendments to the CT,Netherlands will strongly side with any nation wishing to keep the 15'' guns as a limit, or even downgrade the limit to 14'' for new builds.

The Brits get 600,000 tons in our treaty but proceeding historically will leave them with twenty hulls, the maximum our treaty allows. So no new construction for them unless they junk more of the old dreadnoughts
