I'm with BOb :-)
Back in the 50's when these paint finishes became popular on metalwork such as amplifier chassis, it was always known as Hammertone finish. Since then there have been many other names adopted either as proprietary names or simply to differentiate one manufacturer's product from another, but the original name as far as Australia is concerned was Hammertone.
