What type of heat exchanger is this?

Gentlemen, these are the two ends of a heat exchanger in our facility. What type of heat exchanger is this? Is it an AES type?

Don’t let the fact that the head is not elliptical scare you. The pressure is not high, so a flat head is completely sufficient.
It’s the fixed tube sheet type; it’s just that the tube box flanges are loose-flange types
It should be a regular shell-and-tube heat exchanger, with detachable flanges and a flat-plate head – which is relatively rare
Fixed tube sheet type, 2-pass on the tube side
