Same situation as /vehicle.php?id=1423523#Comment3594274 but with even less to go off. It could also be a Model 4/5, but I don't think there's enough detail here to tell. I would put it under Northwest Model 2 along with the other one.

Now that I've been able to look at some brochures for these, I believe this is a Northwest 78D.
The 4, 5, 70, and 78D again all used the same house, but with increasing bucket sizes. However only the 78D had that truss arrangement on the top of the house for the bucket attachment. On the other three models the cables would just go straight into the drums.
