When I was working in the retail TV trade (1971-73), the shop I worked in sold just one "Schaub Lorenz" "Combi Color" West German made set, sourced from a local wholesaler. It looked like an ITT CVC5 chassis, apart from the presence of a big LOPT EHT overwind and a GY501 EHT rectifier. IIRC, the set was still designed for 220V mains and had been "tweaked" to operate on 6MHz intercarrier sound.
Schaub Lorenz was a brand of ITT's German operation, Standard Electric Lorenz.
AFAIK, the only German made ITT set officially imported into the UK in the 1970s, was the FT110 (a solid state 110 degree delta gun chassis). They issued a UK service manual for it.
