Thompson Governor

I bought a governor off a 400 and it looks to be a Thompson but not one I have seen yet. I have a couple Rock-It governors and a Thompson with the original style two weights but this looks more like an M&W governor weights but yet the other components look like Thompson parts. I had heard that later on (maybe they still do?) that if you went to the Case IH dealership this is the governor they would have available. My question is what exactly is this?

What parts make you think its not M&W? Maybe the throttle tube? If the throttle tube shaft has a threaded governor link lever on the end it could still be a M&W. Not all had the flat on the throttle tube with the M&W ID.
Also could be mixed parts over time.
 
The Throttle shaft tube is a Thompson. I have one M&W. I will pull the cover off that and a Rock-It and compare the one I bought to both.
 
Can't say what you have without seeing.
Company's changed things over time.
Had one of these 2 weight M&W governors once and a lot of the parts were just like a Thompson even though they used the same model number as a 4 weight M&W.
