Hello Melanie,
I should think this is most likely a hemione. There is a very nice figure (Fig.5) in Simon Davis' publication (see below) illustrating the key differences fyi.
Cheers,

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Equid tooth ID
Dear All,
I'm hoping some of you could have a look at images of an equid tooth (see
link below), and provide your opinion on whether it's likely to be donkey,
horse (or possibly mule????).
I can provide details of the site off list (but given the consternation my
ID has caused, I'd like to do this blind).
Thank you!!!!!
Melanie
