Automatic electric phone model??

Can anybody tell me what model this is?

It is a Type 83 Compact Telephone.
The ringer box is a Type 32, I believe, at least that is what a #83 phone is supposed to use.

The predecessor was the Type 43 Monophone of the 1940s, and the successor I think was the 183 in the 1960s.

Here is what another seller wrongly believes is a Model 83:  http://www.ebay.com/itm/301550064892
but his is actually a Model 43.

Thank you, that does appear to be what it is. Strange there are no markings inside or out.

It looks like they may have been painted over.
