Plus, Bruce, the under-chassis layout of yours is almost completely different from mine.

My MP VI:

Compare this to the under-chassis layout of Bruce's MP VI:

Another difference I noticed: Bruce, your MP VI has a metal tag under the chassis with the serial number, while mine has a small paper tag with the serial number (H50413).

Very strange indeed.

Bruce, do you suppose that yours might be one of the last MP VI sets made before McMurdo Silver Corp. went under? That perhaps the MP VI underwent numerous changes before the end of the line?
