Are the bushing threads, and/or shaft metric or imperial?

Might help narrow down what continent it was made on.

I reckon that's a VIMEX.

I'm definitely no expert on this, but the Vimex logo looks a little different.



Edit: Looks like there are two posts from trusted sources for Vimex.

Maybe they outsource the pots or another arm of the company makes them.

One feature in the pic that narrows it down is the green fiberglass board for the terminals.

You can see the board here,

Oddly enough this pic seems to have a slightly different logo,  (maybe one of the logos is a fake?)

I have a few that I bought as VIMEXs, they have that sort of white/clear fiberglass and a slightly different logo, but which still looks like those two intersecting Cs (a weird choice for a brand name starting with V ???).
