No, probably the 1976 model. Times Roman.  It was there when I arrived 
in 1978.  It had two spacebars.  Also a fractional backspace so you 
could kern.  It was a beautiful thing.  It was on a contract for many 
years.  When it finally needed a repair the bastards said they didn't 
have anyone who knew how to fix it and refunded that year's fee.
