Default rotor mystery

Hello Everyone

Hoping for some advice

I ordered a new rotor for my 68 with a 327 and discovered this?



The rotor simply lifts off and has only a "W" stamped on it

Any Idea what type of distributor I have and what type of rotor?

Thanks

Guessing here. Maybe it is a "M" for Mallory ignition?

Mallory Dual-Point

-edit-
probably uses points, rotor, cap, condenser etc from some other GM, Ford or Mopar ... easily a mix of the three ... I Know accel did same.
