The reproducer in this picture is for a Eagle. The base is different!

There seem to be a number of variations on the #2 reproducer:

One has a throat with a single milled ring, as on the #1.

Another, as the 'Eagle' picture shows, has two milled rings, and a throat cast integral with the body.

Then there's the wide knurled ring, as on yours…

It would be interesting to find out the chronology on these - particularly as yours has a (rubber? gutta percha?) outer gasket instead of the aluminum compression ring.

I don't know how common the stamped info on the underside is…
