hp 21mx E on ebay (question/comment)

I looked a while ago at the HP 21MX E series on ebay. Just now happened to
come across it again at

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2772816038&category=1247

The unit says 21MX-E on the front, and also clearly says "E series
computer". However, the tag on the back says 2112A, which was an M series
machine. Odd. But further still... the keyswitch has positions operate,
standby, R, and lock. This was indicative of M series machines I thought.
True enough, M series were often upgraded to E series via a motherboard
upgrade. But the rotary key switch is obviously still connected. And from
what I've seen, M series upgraded to E they generally didn't take the time
to upgrade the front panel silkscreen.

I'm betting it's an M series. Or maybe an M that was very completely
upgraded to an E. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Regards,

Jay West
