Is this a Vixen Super Polaris or a clone?

I am going to sell this mount so I would like to confirm what it is. I always assumed it was a clone. It does have a MD-6 quartz motor drive with a Circle V Vixen mark on the controller. Prior to this posting there were two votes for Super Polaris and one for clone. I will post a second photo below. Thank you for any help.

Here is a second photo.

It looks like the "real deal" to me. The square section where the Dec axis mounts to the RA axis is not used on clone mounts that I have seen.

Thats the real deal there. I loved the SP- mounts from the mid 80's.

I suspect it is the real deal... I have a vague recollection that the Vixen worm and pinion ratios are different than the clones so the drives are not interchangeable except maybe for the Polaris...

Anybody have the good info on this??
