This box style is referred to as a Bufkor box because Bufkor is the manufacturer and imprinted their name on the underside of the removable display tray.

FYI, Bufkor also made a smaller version of the last box style above used fr the 34mm and 36mm oyster series. The larger box like yours was used with the larger 40mm "sport" models.

These smaller box sets, often confused with the larger version like yours, are confused by uninformed sellers and buyers alike. I have seen a number of " full sets" where the seller bought the wrong size box and added it to his watch set and called it original to the watch....
