It's a Papa - by the space on the front showing between door and angle iron. (Mama width goes right up to the door without the space)
Originally would have had pipe cap air dampers like this; (Baby bear pictured that came later, still with pipe caps) Bob's dad Baxter invented the 4 fin "air regulator" later.
They are easy to make by drilling a hole in the center of a pipe cap and plug welding a 1/2 inch bolt in the center. Then grind the weld smooth on the outside.
There weren't many made before Pat Pend was added to the door.
That is also the door that developed cracks between the air intake holes, so the trees were added for thickness in that area.
This is from my side vented early Papa.
