Hey, Rick.
The older (c. 1985) YBB-641 looked exactly like that image, to include the leadpipe. Mine had a single-piece leadpipe that entered the 1st rotor at a 45º angle and was made from the same flavor of metal as the rest of the tuba. (the "newer" one is rose brass and two-piece in design)
My vote is for the Yamaha, but it would have to be one that was made nearly twenty years ago.
