The Australian made Models can be identified by the word "National" written through the middle of the large "AMI" lettering on the badges (see the horn badge on the G-80, and also the mechanism manufacturers plate, and the compliance plate on the back of the jukebox cabinet.  Note that later machines like MM2, 3, 4 series didn't have this on the badges but did still have it on the compliance plate on the rear.
All machines are manufactured for 240v 50HZ and use Australian Made Transformers (Ferguson brand), Lamp ballasts (MSP or Ferguson), speakers (MSP) and BSR turntable motors. Relays and many components were made here also.  They still use the US 2 pin style mains plugs internally however.

JVC was intended to produce and market phonographs in Japan. To make this more attractive a minority was sold to Mitsubishi and Sumitomo financial groups. After several crisis due to war with China and WW2 RCA sold step by step JVC to Japan companies. JVC invented the first stereo 45 rpm record in 1957.
