Nice job, looks real nice. I would identify this one as the Cadet, and quite possibly variant "D". This case style looks similar in several models - Ranger, Lieutenant, and Cadet; the first two do not look to have had engraved bezels. The Cadet had the engraved bezel, and there was a coral color which was the "B" and a confusing "A" variant in the same 1943 ad, 1944 ad shows the yellow engraved as the "D". The first Cadet ad shows up in 1942 with a plain bezel, but I would think the various options were available - with or without engraving, with or without the expansion band. I would vote Cadet "D".
