In a belated grand document organizational effort that is only 10% done, 
I finally found the Tech Order for the "M-1" modification (T.O. No. 
16-40-2), and uploaded it to my website in the docs section - 
http://aafradio.org/docs/TO_No_16-40-2.pdf

Perhaps that will put /finito/ on the sporadic and often creative 
speculation on the strange orange stamp that appears on the surplus 
reflectors from time to time.

But somehow I doubt it... :-) Enjoy!
