Like Chuck said, the four valve BBb is supposed to exist as the CB-52. I've never seen one either. They are listed as "available also" on Dillon's site though.
I did look at my copy of the book, which has the same picture and description of the instrument that you posted, and can tell you that it is not a CB-50. It may be a CB-52 BBb tuba (don't know...never seen one), but it is very different than a CB-50, the 5 valve CC tuba version.
I'd love to see this brochure you have...any way to post it on the web?
