The tower is a 45G. 25G has swaged legs at top. 45G and 55G has welded sleeves
on bottom of legs. 45G uses 5/16" and 7/16" bolts for connection of legs. 55G
uses 7/16" for all leg connections. In the pictures I seen two different splice
connection bolts like the 45G uses.
45G is 1' 6" outside to outside of leg. 55G is 1/2" more due to leg dia being
more.
Seek professional help to be safe on all towers.
Cheers,
Mike

It appears to be a 45G, some of which is in "not so good"
condition.
Depending on how bad the rust is on the upper part, it might not have much
life left. Almost looks like the bottom may have already been painted at one
time.
