Because of the mfg timeframe, it's a Big Beat with Modular Hardware.
Looking inside the BD, that's a 3-ply w/rings clear interior (late 69 through early 70s).
Looking at the BD, those are the early type of curved spurs (late 69 through mid 70s).
And... the ever-so-popular butcher block wrap (new in 1973)!
My opinion is early 70s with Modular mounts added later. Not sure on the "configuration name" of the set though, as the toms appear to be 9x13 and 10x14 (note the large classic lugs on both -- 8x12s of this era had small classic lugs). Was a 10x14 an option on the "Big Beat" set? The "Pro Beat" set (1975 catalog) had 9x13 and 10x14, but also an extra 16x18 FT as well...

My 12 inch tom on my 1976 3 ply clear inners Big Beat Butcher Block kit has the larger classic lugs.
Until the gent can get better pics or maybe take possession of it, there is only speculation. Was the modular hardware added after the fact? Are all the drums 3 ply? etc etc etc
Can you please get some better pics? This is the third thread on this same kit using this same pic. It's tough to make calls on it. Please either buy the thing and ask the questions or get some better pics before you start another thread asking for advice.
