Kuwahara (?) mystery MTB

Can you help me figure out what I've got here?

Kuwahara binder bolt and Kuwahara headset.

TT decal says "Puma" and DT decal says "Apex"

Serial number begins 8603 but are these thumb shifters (Suntour Power Ratchet I think) and derailleurs (Suntour Alpine, never heard of it) '86 era? Sugino cranks, Suzue hubs, 6sp. Dia Compe cantis and levers. Cool MKS platforms. Tubing sticker says "Built with 4130 Chromoly Special Tube." That's right, "Tube." (I've seen kuwaharas with a sticker that says "Chromoly Seat Tube.")

Conditions not currently ideal for photos

Maybe Sixty Fiver knows something?
