Default receiver ID question

Hello, I wonder if someone may recognize this receiver. The label say Serpent but the case look very Futaba. Need to know before I buy a transmitter and crystals. I have not found any images of an opened Futaba receiver, so I am lost...maybee someone recognize the circuit board?

TIA

It does not fit the location of the crystal.

R153F and R203HF has the very same casing and both is as 27MHz FM.
That is why a think it is a Futaba but with a different label.

I appreciate your effort, but unfortunately it does not help. Yes, it most likely is a Futaba receiver rebranded. But searching this incredible place I have found some of the IC:s and the 455KHz quartz filter. The 31136G is used both for single and dual conversion but it should be one more IF quartz filter I think. So my guess so far is that it is a single conversion receiver wich will give the crystal to be used. The decoder IC I still have to find out but the cheapest guess is PPM.
