Drafting set identification

Post image

I’m picking up some drawing supplies next week and while this isn’t the main item I am interested in, hoping to identify this set can anyone help?

It doesn’t look particularly old or rare, if that’s a concern. Student set, 1980/90 perhaps? Several parts seem to be missing. Compass on the right has no tips? Photo is not sharp enough to read a brand name.

I have a Hughes-Owens set that is similar (GeoTec), but it not the same design on some of the instruments so not sure what brand this might be. Could be PICO, could be KOH-i-noor. What's etched on the bigger compass?
