very strange!!
the tags look so not SMC
i have never seen an old SMC with a canopy having an SMC print on it, the motor structure looks like a 1977 model, but the mounting system and the upper canopy look like its a 1978-1985 model

Along with the brand SMC, they would be marked Wilcorp too to know the importer. Wilcorp designed tages especially for the models they imported. The brown one uses canopies that are unique to this model. This is what I meant when I wrote that the pre late 1970's SMC's seen in Canada are very similar to the ones you found except for the lower canopy that has a different shape and appears to be made of metal. It makes sense with them having a SMC logo print directly on it and it's not in relief like the plastic canopies have, it's a print on the metal. I was thinking these models were early to mid 1970's.

makes sense now, after seeing the pics again on pc, the second one looks like a mid-70s version, earlier than 1976
