The serial number prefix of 0S indicates that your Browning sweet sixteen shotgun was made by FN of Belguim for Browning in the year 1960.All Browning shotguns made prior to the 1976 were Belguim made shotguns.So to answer your question,yes you have a Belguim Browning.

I am pretty certain all A-5's were made in Belgium.Your 75Z prefix to the serial number indicates that your Browning auto-5 shotgun was chambered as a 20ga auto-5 made in the year 1975.All Browning auto-5 shotguns were produced by Miroku of Japan starting in the year 1976.So I can say that your Browning auto-5 shotgun was one of the last made shotguns by FN of Herstall,Belguim for Browning.
