Heiland Corporation was a division of Honeywell and it started importing Asahi cameras to the US of A in 1959 and the designation appears for the first time on model H2. It looks like the designation was changed quite early with both Honeywell and Heiland used on models H2 and H3, and Honeywell only from H1 (1961)(and H1a) on. The last camera to bear Honeywell designation was ES II (1973-1975). This according to Gerjan van Oosten�s book (with a little help from Danilo Cecchi�s book). All the best!
