In your second photo, the way the RH C-pad is almost tucked up under the C-key pretty much tells you that this is a C-soprano. It does look like a Buescher stencil to me.

As far as the word "stencil" goes, the term really does not mean what a non-musician would think. It has nothing to do with whether the logo is engraved, etched, painted, or "stenciled".

When a major manufacturer was approached about providing instruments for a smaller company or even just a music store, the manufacturer would make the instrument - sometimes identical to their current model and sometimes more closely resembling their older models - and then engrave the instrument any way the buyer wanted. That is what we call a "stencil".

Something similar happened in the clarinet world when King contracted with SML to make upper level clarinets for them. They were marketed by King and sold as Kings, but the models contained both the King name and a hint about their maker: King Lemaire and King Marigaux. Marigaux and Lemaire were the M&L of SML.
