The older machine (called the 3 row) looks like this
http://www.shlrc.mq.edu.au/~robinson/museum/T100old.jpg
and was available as shown,
or without the punch and reader (we called them "side arms")
It had various badges on it,
this one has "RCA" (this machine actually came from the Guam cable station), 
others were "Siemens" and "Siemens Australia".
I don't know what badges the European ones had on them.
Later on, it was available like this:

which had the same guts,
but in a large square case,
and a 4 row keyboard.
