SBA assembled or sold in UK?

One of my SBAs has the following words engraved below the Selmer logo on the bell: "Sole Agents", "British Empire", "Ex Canada". I realize the original neck has no number.

Is this sax assembled in UK or sold in UK? Any difference between its French or US counterparts?

I have horns that are either. The sole agents means that they were the distributors for selmer, in australia we mostly see the brittish empire horns but the selmers bought in the US have the other written on them.

Exactly, one of the SBAs I have is bought from an Australian. That SBA has the wordings aforementioned.
