There are two Leendert Pronts to be found in all relevant sources, both were Dutch Jews and bothe were sent from Drancy to Auschwitz
a) Leendert Pront, born in Amsterdam in 1899: Leendert Pront
deported from Drancy to Auschwitz on November 4th, 1942 (according to the joodsmonument- site his dod was November 7th, 1942) - Mémorial de la Shoah
b) Leendert Pront, born in Amsterdam in 1910: Leendert Pront - according to this source he died somewhere in Germany in May 1945 (perhaps this date was set as his dod)
according to the following source he was deported from Drancy to Auschwitz on June 23rd, 1943, before this he had tried without success to escape with his wife Eva, née Parsser, to flee to Switzerland: - Mémorial de la Shoah

There is too little information on this card to decide without any doubts which one of the two men is meant.
A little hint perhaps could be the named Jawischowitz, a subcamp of Auschwitz, through which from August 15th, 1942, till January 19th, 1945, prisoners were put at the disposal of the mine Brzeszcze-Jawischowitz, so it’s a little bit more likely that the younger Leendert Pront, born 1910, is the man the CLI-card is about, because he perhaps was thought to be strong enough to work in the mine for a certain time, but that’s just a guess.
Dear Dochterlief: It cannot be the Leendert Pront who was born in 1899, since this Leendert Pront was deported on 04.11.1942 and gassed on arrival in Auschwitz on 07.11.1942. He was indeed deemed to be too old to work…

Amsterdam, 7 January 1899 – Auschwitz, 7 November 1942
The Leendert Pront on the tracing card must be the one who was born in 1910 since this Leendert Pront apparently was forced to work in Jawiszowice (in German: Jawischowitz) and was therefore not gassed on arrival in Auschwitz but selected for forced labour. This Leendert Pront was also interned in Buchenwald as you can see below in a link under his name.
We already had his card and the cards of his wife and son:
