Same size as German cleaning kit. Anyone know when these were made? Similar contents except pull-through is cord instead of chain. I'm sure post-War, but when?

this weekend i met josef mötz, the "austrian ammunition pope".
talking to him about the picture he explained to me, that this will be the cleaningdevice of the austrian stg.58.
this was in service at the austrian army (bundesheer) from about 1962 to 1978
