What is this a clone of?

Hi-
I saw a horn on a site that was made in the Far East.....a piston F tuba. Any idea what this is a clone of?

That's a straight up copy of a B&S MRP F tuba...

It's not an exact copy of an MRP-F (leadpipe, 5th slide/rotor changes), but there's a lot of shared DNA.

I guess actually there's no shared DNA, since it's a clone, but you get my point.
