I Don't Know Which Version It Is.

I am away from home on business at this time so I can't say with any certainty which version I have.

I do believe it has nuvistor(s) though. It has a gold colored sticker that says "golden syncrode", and the serial number is 43XXXJ. I included a pic of the sticker that you may be able to blow up.

For now I plan to replace r121 thru r124 with 200k resistors, change the coupling caps from .047uf to .1uf Russian PIO's, put a new on/off rocker switch on the side of the chassis, replace a few of the non essential Telefunken 12AX7 tubes with cheaper tubes, and source a matched quad of the new Tung Sol 7591's from Jim McShane when they become available.

I plan to roll the Telefunken's in my Sherwood S-5000 when I get it back from Mike Samra just to see if I can take it up another notch.
