I have an orange label DA Navy like that ......
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Now that you mention that Bryan, I think I remember that the last year of the Aqualungs (navy approved ones) may have had the bodies rotated 180 degrees to have the orifice pointed down the intake tube. I would have to pull some of mine out to check it out. Hopefully Ryan's is the original Aquamaster and not an Aqualung with a Aquamaster can on it.

Well I received my tank and regulator today. I am very excited since it is a complete period set bought at the same time.

Yellow Tank Original (and only) Hydro 11-57 with original harness and perfect aqua-lung sticker.
Tank valve manufacture date 10-57
DA Aquamaster (can never opened early 1958 without hookah but with aqua master internals)

The condition of all parts is very good. It was a great find :D
