No, It's definitely not from a Gulbransen.  I have that [Gulbransen]
action and airmotor you are referring to in a Mueller-Haines piano;
it has pistons instead of slide valves but it does have teeter/totter
pneumatics.

The motor in question has no conventional pneumatics at all -- no
movable boards.
