On the subject of board types, I got an e-mail from Rayzor (one of the
American Commodore fantics) who believed his unit was from one of the
first production runs of the 64, Since you are on the subject where
does this machine one fit in?
The case is certainly early, grey breadbox w/stainless steel "commodore"
and "64" labels, though the picture shows VIC-20 tan function keys and
helvetica narrow type font on the keycaps (not microgramma like the
older VIC/PET keyboards)...
This is his reply on my questions on the internals:

So... for $50,000 (in your dreams), name that revision! Was it the first
production run?
