Default Frank Howard bat?

I came across this bat today on Marketplace and picked it up for $10. Any chance at all it is a Frank Howard bat?

It appears to date from 69-75. However, there are 4 MLB Howards in that era, and I'd be sort of surprised if he didn't have signature models towards the end of his career. Any number on the knob?

Goldin auction sold a bat with HOWARD in block letters rather than a signature model, and they say it is from 1969. If the length and weight match, it might turn out to be the big man's bat.

Howard did use a block letter LVS bat. I don't think he had a signature model until '71 or '72. Does it have R43 imprinted on the knob? If so, it was likely at least made for game use, although he may have used LVS bats made to other specifications as well. Is anything, such as a uniform number, written by hand on the knob? He wore numbers 9 and 33 while playing for the Senators.

There is nothing written on the knob but there is a stamped M159 if that helps.
