Help identify this a/c

Hi all, A friend snapped this pic from a cockpit recently and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out which variant of B737 this is. Hopefully one of you can help. This pic was taken onboard a Middle-East flight... Cheers

737-300

How can you tell?

Look at the registration - JY-XXX is a Jordanian registration. Take a look on airliners.net for Jordanian B737s. Looks like it's probably a 'Jordan Aviation' operated -300, judging by pics on a.net at least.

Boeing 737-33A JY-JAB

More info on it in case you were curious: It was originally N169AW operated by America West (although 33 is the Boeing customer code for Air Canada I believe and it is a 737-33A). Nevertheless, it first flew on the 17th of November 1986, the Boeing makers serial number is 23630 and it has CFM56-3B2 engines. It went to Jordan Aviation in 2002 and was registered as JY-JAB. Other operators have included UM Air, Aqaba Airlines, Toumai Air, but it has always been registered JY-JAB after it was N169AW. Al

33 is the AC code AFAIK, but the code on that airframe is actually 3A and not 33, if it were 33 it would've been a Boeing 737-333...
