Tough one to answer. Likely a toss-up between the simpler D bow and the short double curved gull wing style

It really depends on whether or not the bow was backed or not. Having said that, our bows ranged from either D or Gull wing. It is largely dependent on the maker. Although many northern tribes have very similar styles and dimensions.
