Hello. Which microphone Johnny Cash used at the San Quentin performance in '69?

Hello

I checked the web plenty to find out which microphone Cash used at the legendary San Quentin performance in 1969. It looks like the Shure SM7(B) somewhat but it's not barely the same indeed. Could it be an older version a sort of a forerunner

Here is the link to watch the mic:

If it doesn't comes close to the SM7, which microphone is assimilable to those needs?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

I think that is an EV design...there are a few online resources that show pictures of mics...especially vintage ones.

That's a great video! The prisoners are so clean cut - funny

I agree - it's an EV sumpn' - maybe a 664A?

Thanks a lot

Well, thanks for your answers darrin h2000, antichef and dementedchord. I guess the question got cleared very quickly. I agree with dementedchord after some research that it's the Shure SM56 for sure.
Thanks for your time.
