hey fellas, need some help here. a while back i picked up what i thought was an 075 off of craigslist for a decent price. it needed a new muffler and i finally found one on ebay. got the new muffler swapped for the old and when i went to put the muffler cover back on.....the new muffler is about 1/2" wider than the old. contact the ebay seller to ask what's up and he says i've got an 051, as the 051s had the slimmer muffler. is he right?

note the lack of manual oiler, although the hole is there and looks like a plug is installed. also, you can't see it in these pics, but there is a decomp valve to the right of the spark plug as you're looking at the rear of the saw. is there any sure fire way to tell these saws apart? i'm not mad, but i'd like to know what saw i've got.
any help is appreciated.
