I just noticed those straight back shock mounts.

That leads me to believe at least the housing is close to 61 vintage.

Mine was assembled in 62 and it has the straight shock mounts as well. Anything from 63 and on had the mount hole ears turned inwards.

Not sure if that means anything, but its just something I've noticed on the earlier 44s vs the later ones.
