Grove Music and MGG list the instrumentation as "vn, va/cl, pf"; although the printed music itself gives no instrumentation options, Bax listed "Trio in one movement for piano, violin and clarinet (or viola)" in a works catalog from Society of British Composers' Yearbook 1907/08. See Lewis Foreman, Bax: A Composer and His Times, p. 39.

Foreman, in his notes to the Naxos recording of this (8.557698), says "In fact in this trio Bax marks his viola part also to be playable on the clarinet, and one has to say that now having heard that version, it lies much better on this instrument than the awkwardly placed original viola part." He appears to be referring to the manuscript, but in his book he notes "MS Lost."

Cover might, though entry for first edition in British Library catalog gives no indication either - 1925 edition may be another matter. (That 1925 edition even exists seems to have been against the composer's wishes - see excerpt from Farewell, My Youth at external link. Date 1906 also from link.)
