Yeah...you're right. I didn't check the date on it against the mfg dates. It has a 51 tank on it and a 228E rest. It appeared to have been apart at least once in it's life. Didn't even think about it not matching. It may be made up of several lanterns. It did have a bent tank, so it's hard to say. My E model has a plated rest on it, this one was like on my B model, but it's gone to a new owner now. I wonder if it is one of those things that there were some cross over parts used. Doug
