@bannie
I would hope that you have pictures of your Kirby so I can prove the model # and age. Thank you.

@bannie
You have said to me in an e-mail this particular Kirby is a Sanitronic VII, produced from September 1962 to 1965.

Here's all the changes I can see:
*Belt lifter (donor from an older Kirby) is painted sirocco. Original belt lifter for the SVII was teardrop-shaped, similar to the 560/561 belt lifter.
*Generic F/G-style bag system rather than with Sani Em-Tor.
*Other trim parts such as the cord and wheels (and motor switch) may still be intact.
