Dont know how far back they went but maybe they built it. The tube line-up is very US but the chassis has an un-US look to it. But
I dont see an asian look to it either so maybe a true Ausie set.

The tuner looks similar to the Admiral tuners of the mid-to-later 50's, with the two rotor discs. They must've used the 6ES8 instead of the 6BC8, that the U.S. sets used.
Regarding the 6CS7, it must be the horizontal osc and AFC tube. It's normally a vertical tube in the U.S. sets
It must have silicon rectifiers, instead of a rectifier tube.
