After looking through the manuals on Bitsavers it definitely is an M4
drive. Still not sure precisely what model, it's not a 9914, though the
SCSI board is definitely very similar.
Thanks for the pointers!

I'm with Nico. It's definitely an M4 Data drive. I have a very
similar model (a 9900), and it looks almost exactly like the
pictures. Mine does 1600bpi and 3200bpi; 800bpi needs an extra card
which I don't have (and the M4 guys told me that not all the head
assemblies they used are good for 800bpi/NRZ anyway). Mine has two
connectors for a Pertec interface, no SCSI, and connects to a QBus
controller on one of my 11/73s.
