Okay C N, if those are official SS BS knobs the black ones match up with his, upper guard handle color could be the lighting.
But no SS logo on the front cover? No SS serial tag?
As one of the Masters will inform us Grass Hoppers here, "lets see the internals"

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: Shopsmith Bandsaw
Some difference in construction from my two bandsaws: The ribbing on the casting is different. Mine has much more ribbing making for a stiffer casting. The insert for the blade slot is different,mine is a plate underneath, yours is a wedge inserted into the front of the table. The trunions loof larger, although they may not be. The scale for tension is different. Lastly yours is cleaner than mine!
I am guessing you might have a clone. Since it is "copied" from Shopsmith, it probably works the same, maybe as well. Others will know better than me.

Re: Shopsmith Bandsaw
Interesting 'details'.
Definitely a clone.
Beefier castings(wheels fer sure).
Parts MAY be interchangeable, but they may have subtle differences.
The trunion etc. is more similar to the early SS version.
At this point I would just use it until a problem actually rears it's head.
