Old WSM? - No "date" stamp on vents

I saw what I thought to be an old 18.5" WSM (I measured) my brother bought some 30+ years ago in Charlotte or Chapel Hill, NC. I am pretty certain there was no mention of Weber on the smoker but it was missing its wooden handle (rotted off?). It has early Weber-like vents with "stop-tabs" in each hole but no date code and no Weber logo on them either. Is anyone familiar with this set up and is it a Weber? The dome top is very heavy compared to current models. He has most of the original parts, but several with rust holes in them.

I knew he missed using his smoker, so I made him a mini-WSM for Christmas.
 
He lives close by. I will try to post some in the next few days. It's the end of duck season here, so "play time" is limited until the season is finished.
