1940s D6 blade question

Ive just attached a couple pics showing controls. I was told blade was added around 1958 in France so you are prob right it being a copy. Thanks for your expertise.

There are a lot of similarities to the Bucyrus-Erie set up but I believe that is a close copy of the real thing.
Cylinder mounting doesn't seem right, along with closer details when you compare to the more common International applications. Sorry I can't correctly identify. A picture of the hydraulic pump and controls might help identify.

You guys are just guessing. Doesn't look anything like a Heil dozer.
Whose ever it is it is definitely running LaPlant-Choate hydraulics. I recognize the P-7-R pump and matching control valve. Cylinders look a little different than typical LP. So it looks like a Heinz dozer. Whose ever it is they have done a nice job of fabrication.

Hi, Daron.
No, the link I meant to post is the one that I posted, the link to the Southern Welding and Machine Company brochure about the Southern dozers:
classicdozers.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/scan0215_edited-1.jpg
They are very similar to the B-E units but with a fabricated rear pillar for the back end of the lift ram instead of the B-E cast steel pillar.
Just my 0.02.

Looks like blade on a TD18A had years ago, but not exactly the same, must be a copy of B -E blade. Looks like a LaPlant pump and controls on a Cat 5R that I have now.
