Indeed.  It was originally sold in Switzerland hence the re-body might have also taken place there.  It has also resided in Rhodesia (presumably before it became Zimbabwe) then latterly in Cape Town, South Africa.

You did well to stumble on the answer to this one, as I believe it's pictured on only one relatively obscure website in the whole world!
