 That is supposed to be an 8/s. Could it be that the first(prototype?)
 8/s where put in an Straigh-8 chassi? 
 Slightly off the subject, I notice that the chad bin on the ASR33 in
 that photo is opaque.  I've never seen (or at least noticed) one like
 that before.  Does anybody have one? 
    That one might be a metal chad bin.  I have one for my ASR33.  Part 
number is 182924 for the metal bin, 182965 for the later clear plastic 
bin.
