Is this a type 3 Bailey?

So this little gem came in the mail today. Is it a type 3 Stanley Bailey frog?




It is 1-3/4" wide, so that would make it a #3 size.




And the adjuster wheel is stamped.




I have never seen a type 3 up close. Anybody have one?

Here's a photo of an installed Type 3 frog, from the Rexmill type study:


Looks to me like two tapped holes below the lever cap screw.

Thanks for the picture. Rules out a #3 Bailey. Must be from a specialty plane.

That is the frog off a Stanley No 113 Circular Plane.

OK, and a very early one at that. Thanks for your eagle eye.
