Is it possible to see that from the pictures?

yes - Ultimate had a fairly distinctive seat collar - that frame doesn't and you can see top part of the ST has been replaced - notice the bulge about 4" from the top?

see attached versus what it would have looked like.

Is that not just the design of the later frames?
I seem to recall from '93 that the independent collar had been dropped in favour of an integrated pinch bolt, can't see why that wouldn't have been applied to the Ultimate.

Edit:
Pinch bolt visible in '93 Catalogue

I think you might be right actually!
Apologies for the bum steer.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with the pinch bolt but looking at the catalogue and a quick google search, they are definitely out there.
I’ve owned a lot of Ultimates over the years - I guess they must all have been early ones
