Probably not a "B", and probably not with an Ampico.
( Probably with a Duo-Art ). If it IS a "B"
reproducer, it would be very rare. If it has an Ampico
system, even rarer, as that would have been a
"Special Order"
Where does the roll go ??? Under they keybed, in
a drawer ( Ampico ) or above the keys, in front of
the tuning pins ( Duo-Art ).
It MIGHT be "B" Ampico system, in a "B"
Steinway, which would be VERY rare, and desirable to
collectors.
( But probably isn't.)
Peace,
