Based on the color of the cover I'm going to guess that it's a reprint. I have one of each; my reprint has a cover of that color and the original is much, much darker brown.

The only real advantage of an original, other than just having an original, is that the quality of the images is better.

yeah my manual is darker colored. i know it is an original too because mine has a piece of paper stapled to the inside front cover that say 'zone office' number and address and the zone manager and service manager.

and the numbers start with WA for walnut.

i do have to agree the pictures are WAY better.

The original 55-56 service manual had much heavier, leather-grained stock for its cover, compared to any reprint.

For reference, see the cover included in Section I - Introduction, of our archive copy.
