Default Tiger Moth.....GeeBee kit?

I have asked this in another forum and been told the Tiger Moth pictured is a GeeBee kit although the wingspan and some other differences exist between mine and the GeeBee kit.
The one pictured here has a 45 3/4" wingspan and 33 3/4" fuse. and has a 25 size engine mount.
With a cowl, the fuse would be approx 3-4" longer.
Anyone with another possible manufacturer?
I really want to know only so I can set up the incidences and get the CG set up.
I was told by the seller it was 20+ yrs old, so perhaps the munufacturer is not in business any longer.
Any suggestions on the wing incidence and GG would be helpful. I was thinking of 0 degrees bottom wing
minus 1 degree for the top wing and 0 degrees for the horizontal stab.
CG at the leading egde of the bottom wing.
Maybe use a .25 2-stroke or a .40 4-stroke.
It is full house with ailerons on bottom wing only.

Thanks for any input.
