Looks like a Wix made ProTec recieved. As noted in my initial, coming from RA depending on how long stored in a warehouse, never know what one will receive. Like Forrest with his box of chocolates. As for bypass location, this being lowest tier jobber filter, generally dome bypass will be found on them. Unsirprising and preferable imo to combo valve used on some NPS and Auto Extra. That said, agreeing with member Black Thunder here, 3 months on a lawn mower in the OP, even had been Puro made, still ok.
