Older heavy version. Came WITH the meat grinder and veggie slicer attachment and all kinds of other stuff that I wont ever use, but maybe the wife will.....
Check the motor size(wattage) It looks like a newer mixer in the classic style. Wattage should be 275. It looks like a 4 1/2 quart bowl. The base doesn't look like the old models do. I'm also going by the box the meat grinder is in(newer design).
I have an older one and a newer one. If it is a 275 watt motor, I would advise against doing much meat grinding. It will really strain the motor and then the pressure on the grinder to turn can cause the grinder housing to crack. Even KitchenAid advises against meat grinding using the light duty motor model.
I had 2 meat grinder housings crack on me. I just gave away the grinder blade, extruder, lock collar, and plates about 3 weeks ago.

Those are the good made accessories. The K45 just means it's a 4 1/2 quart model mixer.
You did real good.
I'd still be careful using the meat grinder. Small batches and done slowly.
