It's not a twin, because when I looked at the listing earlier, I could see multiple photos, and there were no finger joints on the open drawer (unfortunately, the site is being stubborn now and won't show me the additional pictures any more). The lack of finger joints could be a matter of age or cabinet maker.
Here's a three drawer unit; however, it's not clear to me whether John James & Son's Celebrated Needles is the same needle maker:

Wtih regard to your sideways pictures: that's a known problem at CW S&T. The software here doesn't deal well with all photo sources, especially smart phones and tablets.
The workaround is to edit copies of your pictures, crop them slightly, and then replace the incorrectly oriented ones in the post with the cropped copies.
D'oh!
