Well, well ,well. We were all wrong.
The chuck is not a Versachuck
It is not an Axminster one either, at least the chuck is not.
How do I know this? The chuck is branded with the Bison logo and luckily the guy at Bison that I have just spoken to, advised me of the history behind their (Polish) firm and Axminster. They made two type of "Axminster" chucks with different backs. Some had no backing plate as these were supplied by Axminster. Couldn't make out what he was saying about the other type of plate. Axminster then moved production to China. Now we have the CNC plant at Axminster HQ making chucks.
This is the nearest equivilent today of the Precision chuck;

Might see if there is anyone at Axminster who was around a while back and may know the full story.
So, as far as the advert is concerned, you make your own decision based on the above.
I have two more chucks available, one with C jaws and the other O,Donnell. Both sets are the same price for each and threaded M33
