It looks like a viceroy 280 vs with an mt3 tailstock.

A fairly early model 280VS too - it has the nice chromed ball-handles on the top- and cross-slides and dual-scale dials.
Had a bit of a hard life by the looks of it - missing various levers for the power feed & screwcutting.

I'm glad you can offer such detailed information on the lathe
