Aluminium means lots of electricity required along with raw material (bauxite) so it's either hydro or nuclear. Around 1500 miles will see you at the border if leaving from London...

Could well be export within the Iron Curtain. Not all of those countries used Cyrillic. Yugoslavia was mostly "normal" letters (The Serbs used Cyrillic, the others didn't), Poland, East Germany, Czech and others on the fringes were all "normal" letters. Don't know about the Central Asian 'stans.
