George,

I found a post by Emery Stora which may shed light on which valve you have. Quoted below:

"There was recent posting about the temperature/pressure water heater safety valve and someone posted that it was just a pressure valve.
You are both right but it depends on which water heater you are talking about.

The early GMC motorhomes used the Type 1 water heater which was in a rectangular box. This one did use a temperature/pressure valve.

However, the Type 2 water heater which was in a round cylinder case only used a pressure safety valve.
