What lathe is in this P.O. Ackley photo?

In the book P.O. Ackley "Handbook for Shooters and reloaders Vol. 1&2"
1966, there is a picture of the author. He is operating a lathe. What
lathe is that?

Probably an old South Bend or Atlas.

I have recieved a note from some one who insists that it is a Sebastian.

I cannot verify anything yet.
