La Sete Eb is a Kruspe?

OK, the origin of La Set Tuba's has been discussed before, with some thought that they are a Keilworth stencil sold in California Music Stores

I recently bought the Eb posted here and am a bit obsessive. I've noticed that the La Sete has great similarity with Kruspe horns.
The dates do not necessarily align, Kruspe tubas are generally pre-WWII. But per Horn-U-Copuia the shop was limping with one craftsman from 1956-1973

But maybe a pile of leftover Kruspe parts were utilized when building La Sete tubas.
The horn is off gettng a cleaning and some stuck slides pulled. But it seemed to play well.
