Identifying Menagerie?

A menagerie figurine set.Hello. I found this at my local Goodwill in Oklahoma. I knew what it was when I saw it and I was very excited. However, I am not having any luck finding anything on this particular style. There is no writing at the top. It is darker colors than the Womble Menageries. If someone can identify this for me, I would really appreciate it.

It appears to be a 'knock-off/fake/faux' of the original Womble Menageries so there will be no 'brand/company' name.
There are several differences that show this to be a faux of the famous menagerie.

I did find several authentic Reproductions of Polito's/ Wombwell's Menagerie (mostly made in the 90s) for you to compare the differences in the authentic menageries and yours.
I can spot several differences, especially the elephant, but also the workmanship. The authentic pieces show the writing at the top of the item.

This is a very interesting story about the original circus.
