I didn't see a tailstock in his photo, possibly you're looking at the one in my example photo of a lantern style tool post? That was a photo from the group photos that was the first example of a lantern tool post I could find. His compound slide does have the flat top, unlike my TH42. Which is a vintage 1946, according to Robert. So his machine is probably newer than mine.?
Hope he has a tailstock...

Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.
