I believe it was a french company (ADV?) that did them.
It is an older set from mid 90's, and the sculpting wasn't very good at all. The Eduard set is alright, but I'd like to see an engine myself for the thing.

It could be either ADV/Azimut or Peddinghaus, since Peddinghaus also had a PBR (before Tamiya released theirs)

Indeed it is ADV/Azimut, I've never seen this particular set but I did see another figure by ADV and I think they are not the best resin figures I've seen but they are quit nice (though a little hard to get)
You can download the instruction sheet for the Eduard set here and see what's in this set. I think it's quite nice but nothing that can't be scratched without too much effort.

As for the Pbr engine, I never understood why nobody produces an aftermarketset for this. Tired of waiting I tried to build an engine myself and it's ready to go into a pbr kit (might be my WTTN entry, I'm not sure)
