Hi sean,
My Eric Anderson has a Lauson serial no only 7000 or so after yours. Yours doesn not seem to have had the sticker mine does, and yours is held on by screws (rusty) whereas mine was aluminium pop-riveted (I suspect).
The muffler on it is a small cylinder similar to yours but with a square aperture and two bolts on the outside face. It's a silver/tin colour, not rusted and I suspect it's not the original. But it does seem to be designed to fit and has been in use (carbon deposits around exit).
I note the engine colour of yours seems less faded than mine but more chipped.
Good luck with your restoration!
Cheers,
