Trying to identify a flea market phone

Hi everyone!

My daughter picked up a phone at the local flea market. Originally I thought that it might be an antique, however, when I opened it up, the inside look fairly recent, with no rust or corrosion on the internals. The wiring looks recent also.







Does anyone know what this is?

Thanks!

The cradle and handset are copies of EU designs but the body of phone is like none. The model number (and date) is often printed on a paper which is attached to the underside of base (i.e. JN-4, JO-4, DO-8).

Made in Japan, 1960's onwards.
