I think I'm using an M. The label was removed long ago. At home I have a couple of the version that came with an industrialized version that went with ditto rack mount PS/2 of some flavor. The company I worked at was buying around 20 a month and even though the product they went into never used the keyboard or mouse, you got the who package. Keyboard, mouse, PS/2 on floppies even though it had a CD reader, etc etc. The only thing different on the keyboard and mouse was the color was a dark gray.
