I have a similar Soligor and there is also the Tele-Lentar, a Vemar and probably more of the same design. Who made them?

Thanks!
Never heard of Aubell, probably it is a house brand too which use the same generic packing as the Telesar.
There is another type of Telesar 500mm f/8 mirror I found after reading your post.
