Anyone know a name for this one?

I learnt it from my teacher, who learnt it from my previous teacher, bt neither of them know the name, and searching for fragments of the ABC hasn’t turned up anything similar. ‘tis a reel mystery.

Jackson’s

Looks like a version of this one

I wondered that; it looked the closest of anything I searched for. Previous teacher has since confirmed that it is (a version of) Jackson’s. Thanks.
