The type 3 mufflers all have the heat shields on top, the lower 
connections are also farther apart than on any of the type 1/2 
mufflers. Some of the bus mufflers used an angled outlet pipe at the 
rear like this has, but they would have the little built-in heat 
exchangers on the upper inlet pipes.

My best guess:

If the lower inlet pipes are much too close together for a type 3 
then it is a type 1 industrial engine muffler.

My second best guess:

If the lower inlet pipes are about the right distance apart then it 
is a type 3 industrial muffler of a type that is not shown in my 
microfilm.
