I've had time for a closer look at this. The insides are pretty
dusty. I think it has been sitting around without a cover for some
time. One part looks like it had a filter over it but it decayed and
only left a bit around the edge.

I don't see anything behind the M7257. Didn't see anything with a
M9302 or M930 label. Please don't tell me I'm going to have to find
one somewhere. :-(

One of these wasn't an M9202 but an M920. What's the difference?
