I'm sorry I don't know what model this is.

Its early life was spent in the Houston shipyards.

After decades there it was sold and shipped to Dallas. The company that bought it turned oversized drums(sheep's foot rollers) used in earth compaction equipment like those used to build dams. Examples can be seen in the following link(not these brands)....particularly on pages 9 & 17.
