Really? Odd, mine all say IBM in big letters on the front and back,
and "Model M" quite clearly on the back (M2 on the newer ones).
Hmm, mine* (IBM p/n 1390120) says "Model M" on the underside label -
maybe they dropped it for later ones though (mine's a 1986 and I believe
a 'first generation'; it lacks the status LEDs)
