I think I've figured it out - it's a five-speed derailleur. Here's a picture from Velobase.com of what it looks like....
There is a note at the bottom of Velobase entry that says it originally shipped with a 5-speed group. And I just noticed that I have a five-speed cluster in my spares - I suspect I got this with the used drivetrain I bought that included this RD.
