Mirafone and Miraphone Confusion

I have a case that has both Mirafone and Miraphone on it. Does that mean it was a cheap Chinese manufactured case that was actually being sold by Miraphone for import into a German-American community in the United States?

Thank you very much for the explanation Mr. Schultz! haha I couldn't tell which replies were serious and which ones were sarcastic and jokes due to lack of tuba knowledge, and just a little bit of stupidity! I am better at reading that when actually hearing voices!

Are English tolerances any better/worse than metric ones?

I'm my own Mira-phone.
I'm my own Mira-fone..
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own Mira-pfone.

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I bought a horn that was pretty as could be.
This horn had a valve block which had valves of four,
My tech put on another, and soon it had more.

Oh, I'm my own Mira-phone.
I'm my own Mira-fone..

Oh, I'm my own Mira-pfone.
