Default ID Dewitts radiator please

Can anyone please ID this Dewitts Radiator as having an engine oil cooler on the drivers side and the Transmission oil cooler on the passenger side. That's what it looks like to me but I need to confirm it. Dewitts is really busy and I can't get through to them.
Thanks to anyone that can help.

looks like the 1139105B This model includes a 7-plate internal oil cooler for both engine oil cooling (EOC) and transmission (TOC) cooling.

Looks like mine. The engine oil connections are the 1/2 ones with the red plugs.

I have had this in my car for close to 5 years now, and it has been a good experience. I do not miss the air cooled engine oil cooler at all. In my mind, the best advantage of this radiator/EOC/TOC is its ability to more rapidly warm the engine oil on a cold day. That being said, for people who do track-days on a road course may wish for even more engine oil cooling than this device can offer. There is nothing like road course use to really test the oil and water coolers on a car. Ditto for FI cars, the road course experience will severely test your intercoolers like no autobahn or drag-strip can.

The only reason I got this is for the oil to warm up faster. Cars water temp runs 200* most all the time. And 215* in hot weather with bumper to bumper traffic. I have the external oil cooler wrapped in aluminum duct tape and it still takes 8 miles or 15-20 minutes to get up to operating temp. Without the tape around it, 165* was about all you could expect. With tape, it usually mirrors water temp but takes forever. I'm looking forward to seeing how this works. Guessing that as fast as the car heats up that the oil temp now will go along with it.

Thanks Tom....That radiator is a thing of beauty. The welds alone belong in a museum.
