The figure seems to be similar to one from an anonymous Japanese private collection that is due to be auctioned at Christie's in June (lot 110).
Who sold the Christie's figure to the Japanese private collector in the 1980s? Who is the anonymous Japanese private collector? Who is the present proprietor ("Another property")? Will Christie's reveal the full and detailed collecting history of this figure?

David,
They're definitely not the same object, though that doesn't answer your questions about the item to be auctioned.
The image on Lot 110 has been changed; see now lot 112.
See here.
