Chuck has replied whatever relevant from your original description. I still have a question to you:

Is it a compensating instrument?

You can see that from the wrapping of the 3rd valve loop. If the 2nd branch does not end in the 3rd piston, but takes a top circle route to the 1st piston, then the instrument is compensating. Further proof of that would be two small loops at the top end of the 1st and 2nd pistons.

By principle a comp model is more worth, than a non-comp model. However the need for valve tightness is bigger on comp models.

Without having seen pictures, I will not make even the slightest attempt to say, what I would have bidden in an auction.
