Very similar on two models there’s definitely some 

Use or copied out of  older Dolmar makita models

If I put any money on it I would go the following way

 

the stiga CP-466  is based  on the Dolmar PS-460 

 

the stiga CP-526 is based on the Dolmar PS-500

 

these models where the red top semi pro versions 

from 12+ yrs ago 

 

in the next couple of weeks I will take a closer look 

at these models

Are the Dolmar 460 and 500 saws built on the same chassis.

Wow, that 5200 hasn't eaten itself yet?

 

ETA, I think the Stiga 4500 is likely closer to the Dolmar 420.

But until one of us has one before them in bits, we won't know for certain.

However, you can still find 420's and 4300's at good prices.

I just picked up a 420 locally in nearly new condition for 250 euro.

I had assumed Makita would sell their 2t rights off asap.

I think this too, had a look on Stiga website, they are now calling the old 466 a 750,

which is 2kw and wears.325, they also now have a 545 model with 1.9kw wearing .325 Nk chain, that is two models really close together, anyway, as noted, until one is in the hands of someone then its uncertain what if any Dolmar / Makita influence or parts are involved.

Thank you Andrew. Another dumb question if you have the time,

was the 4300 /421 built on that same chassis as the 460 / 500, I even had two of them

but sold them, it looked like they were, they held a good drop of fuel and oil

for sure.
