Mysterious Sony TC-199SD! outside of USA model?

Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

OK, this is a really nice looking little unit. Brushed aluminum face, two VU meters, and in A1 condition as well, except for a couple of stretched out belts. I have tried to find info on this baby EVERYWHERE I could think of (outside of eBay) to no avail.
Now that I want to replace these belts, I cant find a supplier anywhere. Even www.vintage-electronics.cc doesn't have info on this model.
It may have been purchased in Japan (my father-in-law was based on Okinawa for a time).
Does anyone know of a corresponding USA model (if in fact this IS a Japan-only model)? I'd guess it was a mid-price range model. Regardless, it is definitely pretty. Not pretty enough to knock my newly repaired CT-F8282 off the shelf, though!
