Well since this film is reputed to have come along in 1964,  we can 
probably rule out 22 and 25 since they came along later  and the front 
panel looks quite different from a model 30.  The panel also looks flat 
unlike any I have seen.  Perhaps it is just a mock up that was used in 
the production of the film.
