[ForSale-Swap] Beam help needed

Need the help of the group.
Today I took down a 30 foot tower and a triband beam at a ham widow's home.
The beam I thought was a Mosely TA-33 ... it has the cylindrical traps 
like a TA-33.   However, looking at the TA-33 manual
on BAMA, I'm not so sure now.
On the driven element, when I disassembled the sections, there was an 
unterminated length of coax on each side of the coax connection.
It was just inside the elements ... almost like the antenna was being 
capacitive fed.
The center connections for the coax on the driven element are not like 
the TA-33 manual either...    There is a so-239 at the center on a black 
cylindrical insulater that the driven element halves are fastened into. 
So I'm not sure it is a TA-33 ... unless it is a newer model of TA-33..

Anyone have any ideas?
