The typewheel code is displayed on the wheel (see photo).
I seem to have several, although the MA and NU wheels look the same. I
didn't look at the one that is actually in the 33 but from the character
set I'd say it was the MA (general computer use).

The note on Figure 31 says that "MA" is the standard wheel.
