Interesting.  So it looks like either processor was possible for the U 
variant.  (With a 68012 as a possibility as well.)

hpmuseum.net is back up; here's the document I was referring to that 
mentions the 68000, see page 16:

What BOOTROM version do you have in your machine?  I have 4.0, I'm 
curious if there's a later version.

Thanks,
