I just read that the original siddur from which the US edition of 
Tehillas Hashem was cut and pasted was the Nusach Ari version of Siddur 
Seder Hoavodah, published by the Romm house, and edited by the maskil 
Shmuel Feigenson.  Hebrewbooks doesn't have this version, but it does 
have the Nusach Ashkenaz version, and if you compare the typesetting to 
Tehillas Hashem it's clear that this is the original:
