Box
The Plastimarx version of the Best of the West series boxes are well made with vivid individual graphics. This buckboard box has a full color front label but the box is printed with brown graphics and lettering around the sides and back. Here you see the side, top and back of the buckboard box.

The back of the Plastimarx box shows items that you could cut out in order to create boxes and crates (provisions) to fit into the wagon.
Pictured on the box is a US palomino (blond) Thunderbolt from the Best of the West series. This would place the time frame of 1974 for this wagon set.

Wagon and Horse
Plastimarx's version of the Buckboard came with a yellowed palomino color Thunderbolt with off-white mane and tail hair with off-white socks. It does not appear to have the hoof wheels. The wagon appears to be indistinguishable from the US version. It is possible that the color is slightly darker, but I don't have one to compare it with the US version.
