I think so too, but I'm confused. I have another cube with apparently identical pieces, but they've got torpedoes installed. This puzzle has the places where the torpedoes go but they're not present. (The other cube essentially never pops and is a lot harder to take apart. Since it never pops, I've got it set a lot looser.) Are both these Guhongs? And does the Guhong usually come with or without the torpedoes? This was a DIY, (that's fingernail paint on it) while the other cube came assembled.

[edit: googling around, I see that the Guhong with torpedoes is sometimes called "version II". Now I'm confused which Dayan cubes came out and in what order. And the casting for this cube is so poor around where the torpedoes go that I'm pretty sure it was not intended to be sold with them; you'd have to trim a lot of plastic.]

It's a ling yun 100% actually now. look at the lip on the corner piece. GuHong doesn't have that :)

I think I know what this is, but I'm a noob and it's possible I could be wrong and it might be fun for someone:

It's a guhong v1.
The corners look like they could be either, the edges don't have the little ridge that a lingyun and lunhui do have, and a lingyun center is more rounded,
Definitely a guhong v1. I've got both of them sitting right here next to me.
 
I was just saying that to give you a good idea of what cube it could be. Taking a closer look at the pieces, I can tell that it's definitely an AV
 
ooh ok. I can post more pictures if you need. Its weird, i found a previous post of mine when i got the cube that said i had an alpha-3f. But i guess not. Maybe i got the wrong cube or the guy sent me the wrong one. Well it was in my favor at least.
 
is there a video or images explaining the difference between the 3 versions of the sengshou 4x4?
or if the differences actually make much difference in the cube other then slight improvements.

No need to be sorry, just pointing out :)

The insides look a little like my mini Maru, but other than that, not a clue.

Definitely not a Dayan, I know that for sure. I hope you find out!
 
i bought that with a friend and dont know what it is....but i can guarantee you its not an original.
