Sterling. I'm not familiar with Sterling model numbers but it's something 5 or 3, probably an M-3 like you said.
Pretty much nothing can beat listening to Danny Harmon's railfanning videos while hunting for railroad signals in the middle of nowhere Ohio.

this is a single headed early model Type B. you can tell because of the longer shape of the intake and motor cover

Siren maps aren't always factual, the creators of the map can get things wrong. Don't take them as certain fact.
Looking at the shape of it, specifically the motor cover and intake, it's pretty clear it's a single headed Type-B.
