I am not well versed on identifying these, but I am constantly amazed by the number of members well-versed in this issue. Any help is quite appreciated!
stallzer, don't beat yourself up! In this case the bottom ornaments clearly indicate Plate 4 (remnants of balls visible on both sides). The only Type II's on Plate 4 are found in the top row, and this is clearly not a top row relief. It is in fact a C Relief. The top break is definitely wide enough for a Type IIIA; the only question would be if the bottom break(s) qualify for Type III (they probably do not).
