OK, answering my own question here. After sniffing around the site I understand the AG stands for Anti-galvanic? Also, looking more closely at the muffler holes shows this drum would've have a round knob muffler. Being 1968 would it have had a P83 or P85? Or could it have been either. The one on the drum is definitely not original.

most likely a p 83

Great, good to know. If only the Standard's muffler knob was the right size.

Thanks

The P83 from the Standard snare may have a different Ludwig logo on it than would have been on a 1968 Supra. The Standard normally had a block logo while the Supra would have a script logo. Script logo P83s were sometimes used on Standards, so you may have the "correct" one for the Supra.

I hadn't noticed that but you are right. Ah well, it'll have to do for now at least. Thanks

Here she is all cleaned up. The P83 is off a Ludwig Standard snare and as KCdrumdad pointed out, it has the later logo embossed on it. Still, it looks better than the silver P85 that it had. The rims are generic replacements but do the trick and the muffler knob came from a Blackro which is now sporting a small Acro knob.

I'm quite pleased with this drum. It was one of those 'right time, right place' eBay purchases and was pretty cheap. It's not perfect - had to ease out some dents behind the throw and the reso side extreme inside edge is a bit wavy but the actual bearing edge is fine. But it's the lack, or near lack of pitting on the shell that's particularly pleasing. Now to go and play itguitar3
