I've got a body just like this hanging in my garage and I can't decide if it is a full circle Eb or a BBb.

I'd bet Eb or maybe F. The valve circuits look a little too short for BBb.

Looks like it's also listed on eBay. Both listings ID it as a sousaphone:

Should be a decent player if there's nothing seriously wrong with it.
