Mr. Squirrel is not really very familiar with the ASI and its variants.
Does the paint job look like it has some kind of pinstripe around the
beltline? Is that a clue of any sort.

Of course, if someone really has use for the information, I'd be happy
to visit the seller and see what I can see. Best to prime me with things
to look for to tell the diff between a genuine ASI and a tintop with an
ASI lid. I can look for rust while I'm at it.
