The double loop in the body looks like BBb to me, but the valve tubing looks more like Eb. Which is it?

I doubt Beuscher ever made an F, it sure isn't a euphonium, and there isn't enough 3rd valve tubing for a BBb or CC, so just sign me-

It looks unanimous. I thought it looked like an Eb, but the body wrap looked too large. I guess it's just a short overall body.
