Regular leaf, definitely! I liberated The Orange from the USDA collection in the mid 90s so got the first look at it....I also have a catalog blurb in an early Henderson seed catalog. It should be a tomato that looks very much like the varieties Dr. Wyche's Yellow and Goldie, for two examples - vigorous indeterminate, regular leaf foliage and large oblate pale orange fruit with a mild sweet flavor.
