Silver Art Bar from Vancouver BC - Is this Johnson Mathey?

What do you guys think? I found this yesterday. The dealer was from B.C.

It says Western Silver LTD - but the little logo lower left on the reverse has JM & M
Do you think Johnson Mathey produced these ingots for someone else possibly?
I purchased it simply because of that little logo and I liked the low serial number.

    Just a guess that JM&M made the art bars for the sponsors of the Pacific National Exhibition in 1975 and Western Silver Limited was one of the sponsors or Western Silver LTD simply ordered them from JM&M with the PFE design.

    The JM&M logo stands for Johnson Matthey & Mallory.

    I own a 10g bar.
