transformers in my old tweed Deluxe

I dug out my old 5E3 and looked inside.

The power transformer looks original; the only number on it is 6452 on the bell cover.

My output transformer has "TARTAK" printed on it. the only number is "246" stamped on the paper cover.

I think this might be a replacement; has anyone ever seen an output tranny with "TARTAK" on it?

sorry, my Kodak EasyShare camera bit the dust, so I can't post photos for a while.
