I can't confirm that it's the same horn that appears on "that auction site." However, since there was only one CC tuba among the 11 tubas, it's very likely that it's the same horn. It has 4 rotary valves, if that helps to pin it down.
I did play it briefly. Tone was OK. 4th partial (e on the staff) was virtually a quarter tone flat.
