Is there any OGP for US Philippines Proof sets?

I just ran across this US Philippines proof set in a Capital Plastics holder.
It got me wondering if any original mint packaging exists for these coins?

No clue but cool set

No. The first proof set from the U.S. Mint with OGP would be the 1950 proof sets.
"Proof Sets were not sold in any sort of protective packing or cases but were contained in plain paper coin envelopes. Each coin was wrapped individually in thin tissue paper. This method of packaging has contributed to the micro thin hairline scratches seen on most proof coins as well as the heavy toning often seen. As a look at NGC and PCGS population reports will attest that GEM coins are quite RARE and all are very scarce due to the low mintages. (Allen 2008)"
