By the age of the label almost certainly a low pressure tank. But what would be more revealing is the plumbing pipework at the top of the tank.
A low pressure tank will probably have a header tank in the ceiling. Turn the water off at the toby and see if the hot taps still runs. If it does it is you have a header tank.

There you go — it tells you on the label — maximum pressure (working head) = "25 ft" which equals 75 Kpa.
A mains pressure tank works on around 250-700 Kpa.

Does it matter? You can replace it with a high pressure one if you want.

As others say, Definitely low, 25ft head, is less than 11 psi.

Hijacking the thread. Can you read the date on this cylinder. From my memory for useless stupid facts (if it is correct) , Auckland moved from 5 to 6 digit phone numbers in about 1968. Is this cylinder still operational?

I think it was a bit later, I render having a five digit phone number growing up. Was born In 1970. A prefix got added around late 70’s -80s

It is a mains pressure .those one had a coil in side them to give the mains pressure .the cylinder it self is low pressure .They stop making them 30 years ago .
