Bit of strangeness in this. M/S were made in Austria

Not strange at all. From March 12, 1938, the Anschluss = annexation of Austria by Hitler's Grossdeutschland til the end of WW2 in 1945, Austria and the Steyr City were a part of Germany called the Ostmark. So all goods made during those years were marked "Made in Germany" and bear German proofmarks.
