SWAG 1: Possibly/probably S-I-111, or, although less likely, S-I-112 - S-I-116. "S-I-...something or another" is discernible at the bottom of the vehicle. Very little information readily available online; however, the following enlightening extract was quite helpful:
From: CHRYSLER CORPORATION SPACE DIVISION / SATURN 1B ORIENTATION / TRAINING MANUAL 851-0 / Dated: 15 February 1965
"During the first week of February 1963, NASA announced that Saturn vehicle nomenclature had been changed from C-l to Saturn I, from C-IB to Saturn IB, and from C-5 to Saturn V. On February 20, 1963, NASA approved the procurement plan for modification of the basic Chrysler contract, for redesigning the S-I stage to the S-IB configuration, and for the delivery of twelve S-IB stages and eight S-I stages. S-IB contract negotiations with Chrysler at Michoud were completed on August 5, 1963. In early November 1963, S-I-111 through S-I-116 stages were cancelled and existing hardware diverted to S-IB manufacture."
