This is an older non strato modelDon't know if these pictures will help. I have three of these saw. One is light grey craftsman and one of Poulan Green. The parts I have switched between them have all interchanged. Like was said lots of saws the same.

I agree, most likely a pre-AV PP4218. Chrome cylinder, clamshell, strato, internal clutch, NO cat muffler.Yours has the choke and on/off switch on the same side - this is a strato saw (later version.) Most parts are compatible with a Poulan 4218, except yours does not have Anti-vibration.
Another way to identify them is the silver muffler on the strato saws, the earlier non-strato saws have a black muffler. I learned how to fix those by watching youtube videos -
carburetor cleaning and rebuilding by donyboy, and fuel line routing on poulan chain saws. If the piston and cylinder are in good shape, they will usually run by replacing the fuel lines, filter,
and maybe the primer bulb if it has cracks in it. The carburetor may need cleaning / rebuilding, but it may work as it is.
