I’m gonna say Standard, because I think I can see a lid latch poking out on the left side.

Super cool find!

Thanks. I guess it's a B then?

Yes, Standard B, can see the end gate which wouldn't be present on a fireside

Thanks. I thought I saw an end gate, but I wasn't sure.

I wouldn't worry, simply post a duplicate of your original message in the other thread too... Only for the record. It's only a suggestion, maybe there are other posts here and there about phonos in movies, but such thread is so old and long... It's amazing!

Done. I appreciate the advice.

I wasn't sure about the end gate either, but to the left of the machine, you can see the lid lock bar for a Standard. The lid lock for a Fireside is completely different.
