Maybe, but the valve branch lengths seem short for a BBb tuba. It is an Eb Monster Bass? The valves, though, look as if they could be short-action with an offset, but I can't really tell in the picture.

This picture could easily predate the 2xJ line, too. Look at all those exposed drive belts, and that all the machines are driven from one power source, probably a steam engine or traction motor. An OSHA inspector would have a heart attack, heh, heh.
