I believe it was made in quantity.

Merlin

I'd already guessed it'd be somebody from Down Under who solved this. It's such a generic look, it could be any number of builders unless you have specialist knowledge.

Well done. Built by Merlin of Prahran, Victoria.

It looks very much like a Buckle (amongst others) but the split screen was a giveaway.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of these GRP makers used a common mould.
