I don't think it's one of them - the deckhouse looks different. It looks like the 40' version that was built in Japan - can't remember it's name though - Mariner??
If I'm right, it started in wood and then went to glass. I've also read or heard that it was the source boat for all the Taiwanese versions - used as a plug or something - that would account for the slightly different size.
Not much between them in looks or probably performance but the Japanese one had a more conventional layout and a better rep.
