Thanks for your replies, Hans (#1) and Ronni (#2). You got me more curious about the Atlas and Universal brands, so I found some ads on Ebay. #1

 Wow that Universal upright ( reply 10) looks very similar to a vacuum I have been searching for for a life time, Below is a picture of the columbus version, My gran had the Electrolux version. As far as I have gathered it was a built in South Africa for South Africa machine. What struck me as interesting is the adapter for the attachments is very similar. It is very lickely that the South African machine was based on the universal
