I think  it is a WCI machine.  The long strip on the right to open the lid.

Also appears to be an agitator graphic instead of a pulsator on the water level.

I'm quite certain this is a WCI Frigidaire, based on the Westinghouse design.

I agree with the rest of the group so far....I think you are looking at a WCI machine

How long did WCI keep GM/Frigidaire styling on their horrible washers? Was it just to confuse the punters or sell off remaining bits?

I don't know exactly when they got rid of the woodgrain panel but they kept similar controls for many years. The shape of the lid is an easy way to tell, the top also has a different shape with the sides of the top more "rolled up" than the front part (the GM 1-18 had angled sides and front but the angles were the same), the front of the cabinet also has a crease that matches the full width dryer door's lower line while the WCI has a flat front (and the WCI dryer door is slightly smaller with rounded edges).
