that is the same amp.
an obvious tell tale sign is the ink spot under the treble pot.
The pots in the amp now are PEC pots, which are a high quality pot, but I don't like them in HIWATTs.
Maybe Dave can email you the pics of the amp before it was screwed with? a Pic is worth a thousand words.
What isn't original:
Pots,
4 inputs
the black coax cable
All of the tube sockets
indicator lamp
Control panel

A link with about a billion words' worth of photos has been PM'd to Empathy.

P.S. I'm still scratching my head and asking,
WTF ????

Empathy, did you get out of this deal o.k.? A legit business should have refunded anything you put down on it, since the amp has been so dramatically altered from original.

Sorry for the uh, multi-year delay in responding. LOL. I did indeed get a full refund and walked away. Truly a shame what someone did to this amp.
