Never seen that design. J valve reserve and what looks to be a tilt valve second stage- interesting.

What makes you think it has a tilt valve?
3 things. The age based on the overall design. The angle the hose enters the second stage and most important, look closely at the last photo. Just where the hose enters the first stage there is an over pressure valve. Those are mandatory when you have a tilt valve second stage and it's rare for a first stage to include one unless the second stage is a tilt valve design. It is possible I am wrong but odds are well in my favor. And for what it's worth, the tilt valves are a real pain to restore and breath poorly if you manage to get it to stop leaking......I have spent a lot of hours trying.

Guess early 60's? Size of exhaust and cover mould.

I know nothing of the Westcrest Watersports reg but the one listed on ebay looks to be very nice one.
