I don't know the actual difference between the countries, but the Swedish 
version have an oak-tree on the sides of the chest. Not printed, but 
embossed. Can you have a look on the side of your chests?

The oak-tree is the trademakr for the Swedish Savings Bank.

Well, it's not so uncommon as I thought, so we could propably get one for 
you if you don't find it yourself.
