Default Can u identify this converter?

Recently was replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets on my car, when pulling the starter I removed the shield from the converter to make some extra room and this is what I seen.

The trans in the car was built by Pro torque converters in melbourne FL, I know it has a nasty shift kit in it, was told it has all new bands, clutches, corvette servo's.....ect. The car dont feel like it has anything more than a stock stall, then again this is my first auto so idk for sure. Is that a stock replacment or something more?

And identifying marks on it? Pretty tough to identify a converter by one picture of it still in the car. It appears to be stock-ish judging solely by the diameter. It may simply be a re-stalled stock converter - very common.

I bet it's a rebuilt/re-stalled stocker based off the looks and size.
