Default Grosse Lisse origins

Most Australians, if asked, would say that Grosse Lisse is an Australian variety. While almost certainly not the case (very few tomatoes can claim Australian origin), it is quite understandable given that it was, and probably still is, the most popular home grown variety.
I was wondering whether anyone in T'ville has any documented evidence of GL's origins. I've heard two stories. Both have GL going from England to Australia but one has it arriving in England from Germany and the other from the US.
