Hi, who can tell me if a camera that says, "MADE IN JAPAN OCCUPIEED" has a higher value? I include photos, the camera is a Canon IIB, thanks

I haven't seen any indications of special rarity for MIOJ IIB cameras. Moreover, I'd say majority of IIBs had this engraving. In 1949 the requirement for Japanese products to list MIOJ was lifted, but Canon continued using it on many models up to 1951, slowly getting rid of this inscription during these two years.
