Yes, I agree, my feeling is that this is a Samsonite set, or at least a
US-only set. I'm no expert on old sets, but isn't putting a descriptive name
in _English_ on the picture A) a little odd for an
internationally-distributed set, and B) something that occurred frequently
in U.S. sets? I have a Galaxy Explorer box and instructions from the U.S.
which have the name "Galaxy Explorer" on the main box and instruction
picture. I don't think that I've _ever_ seen this on a set that came from
outside the U.S.
