they were made both ways, snap coupler, and the early ones used the drawbar to hook up.

I bought one like that two years ago- like bg says...the book and planter are at my son"s place. Don"t know if it even had a model number- was made around the early 50s, mounts for C, CA, WD, WD45- snap-coupler and drawbar setups. Also two hooked together with common SC hitch for WD45. Plate planter, narrows to 30 inch rows.

They are refered to as a drill planter. The snap coupler planter will have the hitch on the front that attaches to the snap coupler under the tractor. Here is the best picture I can find right now of my SC planter:
