The motor pictured is definitely the earlier style motor, with rivet-like
sockets for the 4.5v plugs. The later motor was significantly different
internally, with the sockets actually attached to the internal metal motor

Also, the box looks much like how I remember the box mine came in, which was a
blue version. It no longer exists, so unfortunately I can't confirm it. The
motor in my set was blue.
