Craigslist. Guy thinks it’s an 038. Carb setup (location of LA screw) looks like an 028 to me. Clutch cover says 1119, brake flag says 1118.

Can anyone tell by serial number 217301006

If it is an 038, can the serial tell if it’s a regular, super, or mag2?

Thank you!

The Filter cover ridge is more pronounced lower bottom, on the 038 it is more pronounced at front top

This is an 038

Edit: like stated below. 3 squares across on fly cover on 028 and 4 on 038.
Piston diameter defies 038, 038 Super and 038 Mag ( which I think is 48mm, 50mm and 52mm respectively

028 is showing 3 rows of air vents on top ahead of the recoil handle, 038 is showing 4 rows.
