I have a couple of Statesmen with the Rank Xerox logotype screen printed on the bottom right corner.
At the risk of getting off topic, the phone in the attached photos turned up in the office the other day during a bit of a clearout. I wondered what a BT Viscount was doing in Poland. Then I turned it over - it turns out that they were also manufactured in Poland, in Wrocław to be more precise, in the 1990s. The Elwro factory was also famous for making the 'Odra' minicomputer, a licensed version of the ICL 1900, and the '800 Junior' microcomputer, a version of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum for use in schools, as well as pH meters and water quality testing vans!
