To my knowledge you can not deduce model ## from serial ##. Not in Miras and not in a lot of other makes.
You might be able to find the necessary documentation by means of these links:
Miraphone rotary tubas, illustrations from a circa 1993 catalogue. (3039KB)

Miraphone rotary tubas, specifications from a circa 1993 catalogue. (1702KB) ) (You will have to save this file to disk and then rotate it within your PDF viewer).

The .pdf files and the thumbnails are based on the same scans. If you have the right fast net hook-up the expandable thumbnails will give you the highest resolution
The specs file is the most interesting in my eyes. It is bilingual German and English. The model ### also vary from Germany to the US. Yet it should be easy to use the specs table after a few moments of adjustment.
