Anyway, these things are how I came to my conclusion/hypothesis.

Just a guess though.

Alright, I've inspected the table more.  The feet of the men are REALLY block like and their arms look like theyre holding on the the poles rather than getting speared through the chest, very funny.

Looks like the photo is gone.  But I'll upload them here as well.

I can take more pictures but I don't see really any other markings other than the volleyball/soccer ball logo.

I found this Roberto Sport that looks very similar except without the extra part for the glass cover:

Perhaps this style was popular among different makers.

UK rods fan here. Your "Garlando" certainly looks to be in the style of the Italian FASNA company. In the UK during the late 50's to late 70's, two companies built tables to put into pubs & clubs using largely FASNA parts - Ruffler & Walker and Brighouse (of which I own one). However, the pitches for these were marked "Specially Manufactured for (Ruffler & Walker or Brighouse Table Football Co)" and the bearing plates for the rods were usually pentagonal in shape and creamy white in colour. I think a FASNA is most likely.
