Some observations that helped to determine the precise model:

• The fuselage is covered with fabric. Later models used metal

• The trailing edge of the rudder is rounded, later models had a straight rudder

• The bottom corner of the rudder is squared, some other models are rounded (e.g BT-9)

• The fuselage shows the crest of the USAAF's Technical Training Command:
