Default Help me identify steering wheel! 911 or 944?

Hi all, I cant remember if this is the original wheel from my 911 or from one of my old 944's. I don't see a part number on the hub.
I'm just to lazy to pull the 930S wheel off my car and see if this fits Thinkin 944 for some reason.

Thanks!

Looks a lot like mine in the 911 but the horn pad doesn't look exactly right(the top of the bevels don't line up with the end of the wrapped section). The rear view doesn't seem to match mine either.

The 944 and 911 wheels are the same except for the back, so if that does not match it must me a '44 wheel.. Thanks!

the "turn signal canceler- thingy" looks to be 911, but I'm not certain whcih model years came with the single horn pad vs the three pads like my 74 & 84.

I am pretty sure that wheel was on 85 to 89 911 and 85.5 and up NON-Airbag 944/951 but I know the hubs are different between the 2

That is identical to my old 1987 944 wheel. The 911's had a spacer about 3/4" attached to the butt-end. This looks like sans spacer. I believe that wheel was 1985.5 to 1989 on 911's.

944. Im pretty sure that the horn pad on a 944 is smaller then the 911's
