On the Sakai page of the Binns Road toy train website, http://www.binnsroad.co.uk/railways/sakai/index.html they note a similar engine with "Made in Occupied Japan" stamped on the pickup, but the picture isn't high enough resolution to see that.
Here is a picture with the text on the pickup from my Sakai A-48000:
My loco body is in a very good condition, but the wheels were changed.
It does run:
