yetter power steering vs behelen

I got a power steering unit off of a 44 Massey. I thought it was a behelen. My grandpa who machined the castings at the yetter plant says it's a yetter. He has also never heard of a behelen. How does one tell the difference? There are no marks I can find.
 

BEHLEN was the go-to unit for the after-market. More Behlen units were installed than any other brand. Char-Lynn was the second most popular. I've never even heard of Yetter power steering.
 
I have never before heard of Yetter power steering units, but here's a post that I found about them. Apparently they are similar to Behlen, but have Yetter Mfg. on the casting. Here's a link:

There are a lot of them in this area from what i understand as the factory is here. It's still in business. They make various farm equipment. I pulled up some pics of the yetter unit and they are exactly like the behelen from what I can see. I don't see yetter in the casting.
 
Picture off Internet claims to be a YETTER power steering...

I would have said Char-Lynn was the most popular, lots and lots of Farmall M's and Super M's, and SM-TA's got Char-Lynn, and some WD & WD-45's, seen a Deere or 2 with them too. Then IH made the Behlen an option on the 300/350/400/450 and that put them on top.

I never heard of Yetter power steering until this topic. Looks like a billet steel Behlen unit.
