Why are you replacing it, a lid is a lid.

The rounded corners in the back would suggest a brand called "Direct-Flo". I'm pretty sure they were the only ones to have rounded edges in the rear (vs. square on all four corners) and I don't think they've produced lids in many years. There were several brands of lids a decade or more ago but, for stock TB size, SLP is basically the only one now.

I agree with the above statements, a lid is a lid. If you like the look of the SLP one better that's fine, but there is no power difference between the two.

I don't remember the MTI lids being curved in the back, I think they were square like the Whisper lids.

It's the LS1 Motorsports "Direct Flo" lid. It originally came with an LS1 Motorsports decal, but it was easy to remove. LS1 Motorsports has been gone for a long time, but I always liked the lid. It's made out of a similar material to the FTP lids, and two of the lower tabs were known to break easily.
