Yup on the first point.  Yup and nope on the second.  It appears to be an 
R-391A - -front panel and special cast frame on the bottom with drive shaft 
& 3 worm gears on it.  But all the the autotune modules are missing. Should 
be two positioning heads -- one for each of the MC and KC shafts that also 
mesh with two of the worm gears.  Should also be a control head meshing with 
the remaining worm gear, a sealed relay and, of course -- the mixmaster 
motor.  I'm assuming it has a similar design as the R-391.  Even if not, 
that casting in the bottom right front should be loaded up with autotune 
stuff -- not empty holes.  I would also think that the MC & KC knobs should 
be the special ones with the holes in the middle and the locking keys --  
those look like regular knobs.  See my earlier post if you want more of 
this, heh heh.
