The Beano album is legendary as far as us tone geeks go. After Cream, you don't see him playing a LP much.
Bluesbreaker, LP, & Vox treble booster.

That's definitely a brownface Fender...with a Utah 15".
I'm guessing it's a tremolux head...because the bandmasters had 6 knobs on the vibrato side...this one looks to have 5

I have a 65 Blackface Tremolux here...5 knobs..But Tremolux's had 2-10's
I cant remember what my 64 Bandmaster had in knobs though
That is too small to be a Showman
Maybe a Bassman?

It probably had 5 knobs...in late 63 they changed circuitry...instead of a presence knob they used a bright switch.
Judging from the picture this is a 61 or 62 (hence the blonde nubtex and oxblood grillcloth)...personally my favorite era for fender amps...post TV.

Here is something I never knew..Beatles used Fenders in the studio
http://www.vmirocks.com/the-beatles-amplifier-1964-fender-bassman/
What a lot of people do not know is that the 1964 6G6-B
Bassman with Utah Speakers was actually the most recorded amplifier
used by The Beatles. The amp was first used by Paul McCartney as his
main bass amp from 1965 to mid 1967 (he did use a Vox during this time
but not as much as the Bassman). In 1966 and 1967 John Lennon and
George Harrison shared it (sometimes playing their guitars through the
amp at the same time) and from early 1967 George Harrison took it over
as his main amp. This amp was then used on a few of the early John
Lennon solo albums when George was there and then George used it as
his main solo amp. It even became George’s main amp when they did
Antholody and Real Love/Free As A Bird (you will see it in the
recording sessions). If you look at any Beatles documentary from 1967
you will always see it there (even in the Apple offices at times), it
is all through the Lennon Imagine films and documentaries and also the
Harrison documentaries and it was even on stage during the Concert for
George, as a tribute when George died. So, the 1964 Bassman is
actually the “real” amp used by The Beatles in the latter years and
most creative years, rather than the iconic Vox which dominated their
early years. So, although the Utah speakers were not the best
speakers their sound dominated Beatle recordings from Rubber Soul
