Here's one of a batch of 6 identicle microscopes from a Texas university.
Not much info available. Seems to have been used for an intro level class, there is a plug where the oil immersion objective should be. (Ordered one from eBay)
Serial number dates it to 1959, according to the list floating around posted by Klaus in 2009.
It seems to be the basic frame of the ST, but sports a split condenser and a mechanical stage.
The number 16033-433 is cast into the base, probably a part number. Above it is 43 hand engraved on the base. From a time when you worked from behind the arm.
The tubus above the nose piece is removable, and hints at more advanced attachments.
Can't find anything else on the web

Split condenser, top element is attached to the stage and the bottom element with the iris and filter slot (32x1mm) is on a rack.

The leading H apparently indicates 1959, but I'm sure they made them for several years.
