Thank you all for your replies, which confirm my suspicion, that this instrument is not a very standard Conn, if a Conn at all.
The suggestion, that we are talking of a hybrid between a King body and a Conn bell leads me to this question:
Are there a common denominator/identity between the dimensions of some King bell collars and some Conn bell collars?
I have 3 instruments with detachable forward bells. The Conn Eb and large BBb sousaphones have cylindrical collars of different diameters. The York Master BBb tuba has a different diameter and the collar is conical.
So I certainly haven't have experienced compatible collars.
