That is one sweet looking Brownie. Nice score.
Couple of things to point out: 1) I'm not aware of ANY non-piggyback amps from the brown/blonde period that Fender supplied with tilt-back legs from the factory (with the possible exception of the blonde Twin Amp, can't quite recall); 2) I'm not aware of Fender supplying JBLs either as OE or as a factory replacement in ANY 6G3 Deluxe.
With that said, there are (by far) more documented singular examples and out-of--spec amps from Fender during the brown period than from ANY other time in Fender's history. My best guess would be that the JBL and tilt-backs were not original to that amp however and were added at a later date. I'm not sure Fender even made legs that size at that time actually.
Bottom line, NONE of that detracts from how utterly cool that Deluxe is. I will admit, I'm envious ;^ )
