Bottom left looks like a Jeff duet.  If you're ever in New York....

Is it possible it was once a Jeffries duet that was converted to an Anglo, as so many were, due to the increased market for Anglos compared to the market for JDs?

In fact that more-usually went on in the opposite direction in the old days David, from 39-key/46-key Jeffries Anglo to Jeffries duet. In fact I have two of them here at the moment that this was done to, and Jim Harvey (Secretary of the ICA in the old days) told me that he got it done to his Jeffries Anglo - by Jeffries themselves!

It's difficult to tell just from a visual.  I have a set of T. Shakespeare 44 button ends presumably from an Anglo that are an exact match ( except for a few less buttons ) for the pattern on my 51 B JD.  My first guess for this one was Anglo but it doesn't hurt to ask.
