The Leica Pocket Book, 7th edition, describes M2Rs as follows:
"1966 US Army issue designated M2S have M4 three prong rapid load system,
later sold by E Leitz Rockleigh USA designated M2R, from 1969-1970 numbers
1248201 - 1250200"
This is followed by the sentence "1968 one only black paint finish number
1207000", which I find ambiguous as I can't tell if it refers to the M2R or
some other version of the M2.
As always, the key thing to find out is the serial number.
