Default Bonnie Prince Billy- Martin OO-15 or OOO-15?

Hi everybody,

Was wondering if anybody can help me ID the guitar that Will Oldham is playing in the video for this beautiful song. I've got it narrowed down to either a Martin OO-15 or OOO-15.

Thanks for looking and listening!

The pickgaurd on an OM is a teardrop. 00 & 000's have "normal" pickgaurds, and the space between the waist and the pickgaurd on 00 & 000's is different.

Plus if you google image him, there are many pictures with him and his guitar. A few you can see the label.
