That's a good idea, but may not be conclusive. That basic top casting design was used on a couple different models and may all have the same part number. Mills varied the look for different models with ornaments and paint. If you look closely, you'll see the cherries on a Golden Falls are positioned a little differently than the respective diamonds on a Diamond Front. I'm pretty sure that top casting is off a Diamond Front.
If Nepacoinop wants to return subject machine to look like a proper Golden Falls, all he needs is 2 cherry clusters and a little rework of the casting. The cherry clusters were first reproduced decades ago and should still be readily available.
Of course that depends on what's under the diamonds and how they are attached; may be special cut-outs in the casting, in which case part number will be different.
