I found a few with French labels on them a few years back, all from the same person and someone I used to get loads of weird stuff from as he worked there for years. Saying that I have no idea where they are lol

How interesting Tim, a nice match for the first one you showed us and suggesting there may be many others to be found with un-common 'Brands' on the labels.

It wouldn't be surprising if these were used as promotional models for smaller independent domestic oil supply companies much the same as busses and model a vans.... Maybe a search for the brand name on the labels??
