I have a similar 23" Astor Princess set here which is from 1962. The set in this does look earlier, but I don't think it's from 1956 (the year that TV started in Australia).

It's been a long time since I've seen others to compare, but from memory they were better made than the Pye and Thorn. I seem to remember Astor sticking with point to point wiring after Pye and Thorn had switched to PCBs.

I think Astor was gone by the time we color in 1975, at least I've never seen an Astor color set.
