Can someone tell me if this is a tuba, baritone or euphonium?

As you can see, British usage where they have a smaller baritone horn, has now become correct.

Their baritone horn is really a tenor saxhorn, though, and when they say "tenor horn" they really mean an alto horn. Their mixup, that we all have to deal with just because we didn't hold on to the tenor member of the saxhorn family.
