Looks a lot like my '48 Recording, except mine has brass outer slide tubes, and hers look nickel. She sure can play, whatever her horn is.

Only the early Recordings had brass outers, they changed to nickel-silver I think in the late 50's.  Yes, that's what she's she's playing.

Classic upstream embouchure, by the way.  I don't know who she is but she sounds great.

Is that cool gold mouthpiece she’s playing a Doug Elliott creation?

If the is more bottom lip in the mouthpiece than top lip, the airstream makes the bottom lip protrude and the air goes up.  A small percentage of brass players have facial structure that favors that situation and they can't play any other way. 

Some of the most famous brass players in history have had that style of embouchure -
On trumpet: Doc severinsen, John Faddis, Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis
On horn:  Dennis Brain
On trombone: Kai Winding, Dick Nash, Blair Bolliger
On tuba:  I can't think of names right now but there are some.
