unknown pickering cart.

I just today received my kenwood 5070 and after setting it up and a few minor adjustments it has been operating smoothly. The Pickering cart. with a 600-d7e stylus sounds pretty good on my not very audiophile system and an "85"recording of Stephanie Mills vocals were clean and the separation was good.
Now here's the thing, there is no ident. on the cart.there is one identical to it on ebay, item #380442452376,notice the mounting. Anybody know what this thing is?Early XV15 maybe?

I have a Stanton 600 cartridge that looks identical to the body on that Pickering.

It doesn't look like my XV-15. It does have one of the plastic adapters installed over the metal mounting bracket. Still have my 4 plastic adapters / spacers which could be used to better fit certain headshells..... :-k :-k IIRC Duals. Have to refer to my XV-15 instructions.

Was flipping through the cartridge database and believe it's a V-15 202E:
