Can't imagine the plating on the fenders & chain guard being of any real quality.
They were a huge seller in Central America, during my 16 years of living in Honduras. Rugged transportation, often seen with rider transporting at least one other person or bundles of carry-on.
Yellow Jacket in Wisconsin, used to bring in a similar version from India.
Thanks for the good detective work.

Many have tried to make some $$ importing these things but by the time the shipping/duties/taxes/profit are
accounted for, the selling price is not realistic.
I was in Rwanda working years ago (2005), and the Indian version could be had for $35.00...
Brand new.
