Don't know if it's original or not, but mine has the standard type crank handle on the dash. Arrows indicate nose up or down. And, it definitely works quite satisfactorily. I couldn't figure how it worked, as there's no trim tab anywhere to be seen. I now understand that it's spring loaded somewhere deep in the bowels of the plane. Cranking increases or decreases (depending on direction of crank travel) the spring pressure on the elevators, thus the trim control.
