Help identifying proposed railway carriage model - possibly an export design?

The grilles suggest airconditioned for a hot climate, and the buffers and drawgear suggest British manufacture for Empire/Commonwealth, to generous loading guage; first guess, India.  General style looks like mid or late 60s; integral bodyshell construction out of what looks like aluminium.

 

That's a very LMS looking gangway!

Thanks everyone, the BRCW coaches do look similar. I’ll look further into those. This coach design may never have been put into production so I might have to best guess the age. At the moment late 1950s feels about right.

I think that you are right that this model is not an exact model of anything produced but just something that salesmen could use to show potential clients before refining the design to meet the client's requirements. Interesting to note a quite early use of monocoque construction.
