Correct. It's an 11b, and a later one at that because it has GPW instead of MW!

This is the 11a model as it has no base plate, the seller it seems cannot tell the difference between MW and GPW .

Sorry Hugh, my mistake to quick off the mark, it is the 11b model as you said.

George, I think this is an 11b. Admittedly the photographs aren't brilliant, but the rectangular hole above the rear axle shows that this must be the version with baseplate.

Looking at the text on the base I agree it is the 11b.

Hello Rodger I viewed it to quick, had another look and he seems to have painted the base plate green, but some one has bid on it already.
Sorry about that Hugh I should have known you would be correct,

Another way to tell from the side is that the first "compartment line" on the large top tank is BEHIND the "middle line" on the lower small side gas tank on the 11B and the "compartment line" is slightly AHEAD of the "middle line" on the small side gas tank on the 11A. So this also confirms that the listed item is an 11B.
