"Need a little help from my Friends"

I bought a flat car recently on eBay. Good price, nice model to work on and pleased with the purchase. It caught my eye because it was just what I needed to create another pulpwood car. It will become DMIR #6347.

Would like to know a little more about the origin of this car. The only markings are on the trucks. For some reason the trucks are marked China 1 & China 2. They are very nice sprung die-cast trucks. The couplers are also die-cast bars but separate; not attached to the trucks. The deck plate is similar but slightly different from an MTH flat I used for a tie load car. The car arrived yesterday as Erie #7223, no box or ID markings. I have already started to detail this car with my target being DMIR #6347.

I like the car, but its origin is a mystery to me. Anyone know the maker of this model? Thanks for any help!

Curious, Dave
