Is this subfloor or (potentially) original floor?

House is 122 years old and this pantry clearly use to be a part of a larger room. Is the horizontal wood with the register subfloor or potentially original flooring? I was going to tile over it, but if it is original floor I'd like to sand and stain it to honor its history. Darker vertical flooring is what the rest of the house has and I presume is placed over this lighter, horizontal wood throughout. I'd try to match the stain to the vertical wood.
