Given the amount of labor involved involved in converting from top to front (you need to flip the horn) and/or a new valve section, you'd probably be better off finding someone who has already done the work. (I apologize if you do this kind of work routinely but I've sen people take on more than they can handle and it never ends well; i.e. over budget, over frustrating, etc.)
The York on fleabay is a BBb! The seller didn't post any picture of the backside, but you can still see the extra loops of large tubing behind the major outer branches.
Compare an actual Eb to the "Eb" on fleabay, yes they are different sizes - the actual Eb is the small (better intonation) and the fleabay one is definitely a BBb.
