I'd like to say Japan and prior to 1961 as that is as far as my catalog goes back. And it's not in the catalog. Purely a guess though. If so, then...
As @paddyman98 would say...DEFDAM.
Some cell phones have the ability, if you take a pic, to offer up other photos similar or maybe spot on and lead you to links on it. I don't know...
