Any idea what prop this is?

I have a new to me Contest 43 from 1990 and after one year of sailing we have hauled out for 3 weeks.

The prop needs a new anode and of course grease, but it seems no-one can find an appropriate anode. We had this problem last year and that yard (in Holland) had to adapt one to fit, which turned out to be not ideal.

Trying to get to the bottom of this, and in a different country this time (UK), I have taken some photos of the prop and anode and have tried to discover what prop it is and there is no documentary evidence on board.

It would appear to be some kind of Max-Prop, potentially a classic, but no one is sure. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Oh Happy Maintenance...

It turns out to be a Variprop DF 112 from 1993.
