There were also the "Japanamounts"-- Paramounts made by Panasonic (I think) in Japan. A lot of the "PDG" (Paramonunt Design Group) Paramounts are Japanese made. Not bad (actually pretty nice bikes), but not terribly collectible. Not all LeTours were made by National/Panasonic; for quite some while they were made in Chicago, I think some may have been made in Taiwan (by Giant), and I've seen a few 80's ones that I think were Mississippi made (not sure).

Someone more knowledgeable-- I know you Schwinnies are out there-- can correct any wild innacuracies I may have made in this post.
