We have some differences...

Decals
bobbins, yours is round bobbin, mine is shuttle
Your tension on the faceplate, mine is on the front
Stitch length selectors are different...yours is the "knob slide", mine is a lever.
The bobbin winders are different, and mine has the place for the grinding wheel, which didn't come with it.
Mine has the flat faceplate.
And of course, the cabinets...yours has a rounded top, mine is square, etc.

From what I understand, these machines would have been sold at a higher price because they're treadles? (Maybe Muv can comment on that? I understood it to be because there weren't many homes at the time that had space for a treadle.)

What year is yours Nancy? (I know we figured it out once, but I can't remember! )
Yes, after I posted my photos I noticed the differences too. My Pfaff is the Model H from 1912 with the famed chrysanthemum decal. Is there a letter on the back of your machine? I love the looks/decals of your machine too!
