Not your usual mouthpiece question

This is not the usual which-one-is-best-for-me mouthpiece question.

I acquired a 60's era Reynolds 3/4 size BBb about a year ago. Although the tuba is well worn, the mouthpiece that came with it was new, or at least unused. It says "CONN", with no additional letters or numbers, measures 1.23" (31.4 mm) inside, and the cup is definitely more funnel shaped (like a french horn mpc ) than bowl shaped (like a trumpet mpc).

Can anyone tell what it is, and how it compares to other popular mouthpieces? Usually, mouthpieces have some descriptive numbers or letters on the outside. Did Conn make a mouthpiece that is so standard/common that it has no further designation?
