how do i tell plz help ????

I doubt it has ever been a Sandman. It has no black outs along the the sills and rear beaver and no sign of them ever being blacked out. Weight printed on side is more a commercial thing and unlikely to be found on a Sandman. Been done up at some stage to look like a Sandman.

Agree...and the "Sandman" sticker on the side is mounted way too high ( according to the instructions I have for mine)....looks like and add on.

It makes no difference if it is or isn't, tags are gone.
