I'm fairly certain it is the New York, the Texas never had the AA platform in that configuration on the forward tripod mast.

Here is an excellent illustration of what I mean, the Texas had a gun tub mounted atop the foremast, whereas the New York had it mounted lower in a completely different configuration.

 

Texas BB-35 on left, New York BB-34 on right, note the .50 caliber AA gun positions on the foremast.
