The typewriter in question is more likely to be the "Executive," than the uncommon "Selectric-Composer." The "Executive" predates the Selectric, and the Executive employs proportional spacing.

Couldn't be the Selectric Composer, since it wasn't introduced until later than this. The only typewriter it could have been is the IBM Executive.

Now, if we can just get a type sample from one to compare, we'll have a better idea.

The website also has the "Executive". Pics are small though.
