Info wanted on old Aust made Mount/scope

Guys,
I have a couple of ASTRO and earlier reflectors, this is the latest. The tube is made of fiberglassed brown stuff? I have seen this stuff before but not for a long time , from my poor description does anyone remember what it was called? its all Unitron parts and an AAOS mirror, the mount is obviously a early small sampson mount, I am assuming the makers as shown are the same people who made the later bigger ones or am I lost? anyone have an idea of date? any thoughts on the whole? any spares for the mount? (its cool enough for me to be considering restoration)
a Mr/Mrs M. REA appears to be the original maker/owner.
Thanks
Roger
(removed a little of the fiberglass and it could be brown cardboard tubing?)
