Does it have the later IIe style case with D-Sub cutouts, or does it have
slots in the back panel like the II/II+? I never have had a good look at
one of the IIe machines marketed by them.

I would expect it to be a typical IIe in a black case :)

These machines were sold primarily to businesses and schools. Bell &
Howell marketed audio/video and other electronic equipment to such places,
so they were a well known brand.
