Sorry Tim, but I have to agree that the Speaker is no good.
It should have a lighter coloring and more gloss, although maybe the scans betray its actual appearance.
More importantly, the hash marks that frame the ad message on the back are not genuine. They should have wider spacing and present a noticeable broad-thin-thin, broad-thin-thin pattern.
Finally, while I have not seen a confirmed D350-3 Speaker, I would expect it to have a large projection image found in m101-6 and e121-80, likely with a designation of mgr. or manager instead of O.F. Yours lines up more with an e121-120, produced after the e121 set of 80 and almost certainly after Standard Biscuit would have concluded their D350-3 effort.
