My Latest Find: A Hippopotamus - but What Brand is It? Anyone Recognise this?

Hi guys

Found this model at a fleamarket recently and love it!  It caught my eye in a box of toys with its head sticking out...it looked old and at first I thought it was a lineol but it is not.  It is made of hard plastic and painted in a style making it look very old...I have never seen it before and I dont see it listed on the Animal Wiki Toy site...

Anyone recognise what brand it is?  It would be interesting to see what other models were made in the range...I love the sculpting and post of this model which is reminiscent of the Lineol Model ...similar pose but this one has its mouth closed....

Veb Plaho and Lineol designs are closely related but I never noticed the pose of the legs of this hippo was so similar to the Lineol version.
